I realize that this may or may not be an accurate assessment of the true ranking of Public High Schools in the US but looking through the top 1200, I was genuinely suprised by the relative lack of new England schools represented on this list. 2 RI schools, Prov. Classical in the 800s, E.G. in the 1000s; 8 or 9 Mass Schools - Boston Latin being the highest of all NE schools at 76, but a smattering of Dover, Deluxbury, Weston, Wellesly, and a handful of others in the top 1200, a handful of CT schools - though W. Hartford had 2, 1 Maine - Yarmouth, 1 NH school, and no VT schools.
We always hear the reputation about the Northeast having top schools but there were a lot more NY, NJ, FL, TX, PA, CA, GA, VA, MD, schools then the northeast.
Ineteresting if somewhat disturbing...
