Ben Franklin was way more demanding than college or grad school.

Surprised Jesuit isn't on list


This surprises me too. Earlier this month it was announced that Jesuit had 43 National Merit Semi-finalists. Uh, 43! The Blue Ribbon award is for overall academic performance. How can Jesuit not be one of the best schools in the state?

P. S. I've got no dog in this fight. I'm not Catholic, don't know anyone who attended Jesuit, and live nowhere near New Orleans.

Because of the criteria that calls for exemplary improvement. If you are at or near the top, there is no where else to go. Oh, and 40% disadvantaged....

quote:

The Blue Ribbon Schools Program seeks to identify truly exemplary model schools, not just good schools or strong schools. The program honors public and private elementary, middle and high schools that qualify as either (1) Exemplary High Performing- in the tested year all grades must be among the top 15 percent of scores in reading and math as measured by a nationally normed test or (2) Exemplary Improvement to High Levels- schools that have at least 40 percent of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds and have demonstrated dramatic gains in reading and math.

I know nothing about any of these schools; however, based on the comments in this thread, I wonder if they indoctorinated you all to this idea that "Ben Franklin is harder than college," regardless if that is true or not.
