发帖数: 451 | 1 Five Bay Area high schools, three of them small charters, were listed among
the nation’s top 100 public schools, according to an annual ranking
published Tuesday by U.S. News & World Report.
Santa Cruz’s Pacific Collegiate Charter was ranked tenth in the nation, the
highest rating of any school in California. KIPP San Jose Collegiate ranked
23rd, Lowell High in San Francisco was 59th, University Preparatory
Academy in San Jose was 72nd, Mission San Jose High in Fremont was 76th and
Oakland Charter High was 91st.
The website chose three Basis charter schools in Arizona as the nation’s
top three public high schools, among 6,041 schools it ranked and labeled as
gold, silver or bronze to indicate their level of college preparation.
At University Preparatory, a charter school that just celebrated its 10th
anniversary, Principal Daniel Ordaz credited the school’s size and focus
for its good showing. “There’s a lot of unity here. Teachers are able to
focus more on individual students,” he said. At schools with thousands of
students — like the one where Ordaz formerly worked, “it’s impossible to
focus on individuals and pay attention to students,” he said.
The listings reflect the weight that the website places on the education of
low-income, black and Latino students. California schools that U.S. News &
World Report ranked from 101 to 200 included smaller schools — Summit
Preparatory and Everest Public High in Redwood City and the 273-student Dr.
T.J. Owens Gilroy Early College Academy in Gilroy — along with academic
powerhouses Gunn in Palo Alto, Saratoga, Campolindo in Moraga and Miramonte
in Orinda.
The number of students taking AP tests, the scores on those tests or poor
equity showing — failure to provide educational opportunities to
disadvantaged students — affected some schools’ rankings.
The website reviewed data from more than 22,000 public high schools in the
nation, then ranked the schools by a formula weighing achievement,
comparison with state averages, performance of disadvantaged students and
scores on advanced-placement exams.
In analyzing the success of KIPP Collegiate San Jose, Principal Tom Ryan
said, “There’s no secret formula.”
The school has just 490 students in grades 9 through 12. He credited the
school’s focus and selective hiring for its success.
“The staff we hire truly believe all our students will learn,” he said. “
We have the entire community of families, students and staff on the same
page, with a common goal of going to and graduating from college.”
