U.S. News & World Report Releases the 2016 Best High Schools

Momopi & all the Cerritos High alumni on TI will be pleased to know that Whitney is the #1 high school in the state. ;D

Sorry, Homer...  Saratoga didn't even make the cut.

Ranking high schools is such a farce.  There is too much noise and too many variables to rank schools across a state as big as California, let alone the entire nation. 

This is all to sell more magazines....

WTF south central LA school did better than Irvine! The Silicon Valley swept the top of the list.

It's the chicken or egg theory.  Is the school making better students or are the students making the school better?  I'm willing to bet if a mid-tier faculty/administration were swapped with a that of a top ranked school, the rankings of those two schools wouldn't significantly change.

I also find the high school rankings for usnews to be all over the map. I personally like the high school rankings by www.schooldigger.com and niche high school ranking. Schooldigger ranks Whitney as the #1 high school in California. Niche ranks University High in Irvine as rank #24 in the state.

I actually graduated from Artesia High, but took computer classes at Cerritos High and Cerritos College back then.  Cerritos High had better computer lab.

When I was at Artesia High, I was a TA and fly on the wall.  There was some discontent from teacher on Whitney "taking all the top students" and causing other schools to have lower rankings.  But i was glad that I wasn't in Whitney, they have way too much homework and would have been a distraction to more important things, like fishing, fencing practice, dungeons and dragons, anime, manga, and pushing shopping carts for $3.25/hr at Diho Supermarket to put gas in my (used) 1982 red mustang.

Also, Whitney is not the only "good" school in that area.  Oxford Academy in Cypress is also very desirable:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Academy_(California)
