It doesn't take a genius to realize the silliness of the methodology
used to determine Newsweek's rankings of the the top U.S. high
schools, but [1]this story offers an amusing illustration of the
problem.
Hillsborough High School in Tampa earned a D grade from the state
last year. And under federal standards, it fell far short.
But on Monday, Newsweek magazine named it the 10th best high
school in the country.
In the country.
