Public High School Beauty Pageant Results

In a feeble answer to U.S. News and World Report's questionably conducated higher education rankings, Newsweek recently released its list of top 1200 public high schools in America. Cedar Rapids Washington was the top finisher in Iowa, coming in at #368. I only scanned until about #900 but saw no other Iowa schools listed.

How these rankings were conducted I have no idea, but it looks pretty suspect. Apparently some of the "best" schools had "high dropout rates and low average test scores."
