According to NEWSWEEK, the public schools are ranked according to a ratio of the number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and/or Cambridge tests taken by all students at a school in 2008 divided by the number of graduating seniors. All of the school on the list are in the top 6 percent of public schools measured this way.
