SALISBURY HIGH BETTER THAN NCSSM???

jk I don't think NCSSM qualifies for the list for some reason

4/25/2013 9:37:05 AM

My high school probably doesn't qualify either. Is there a list of qualifications

I'm Krallum and I approved this message.

WHAT?!? Lumberton High School isn't ranked?!? That's absurd!

4/25/2013 9:43:05 AM

NCSSM where introverted late bloomers learn about sex and drugs

4/25/2013 9:44:47 AM

That's a valuable service to introverted late bloomers tho

4/25/2013 9:47:20 AM

Hertford County High School is the best. Hands down #1

Home of the mighty bears

Like how only one school in the top 10 has 50+% for Minority and Economically Disadvantaged. Way to go Salisbury High.

Nor was mine... but when I looked it up, the college preparedness was higher than most on that list. What are the qualifications, any idea?

4/25/2013 9:55:35 AM

fucking Butler

4/25/2013 9:58:28 AM

Nevermind, my high school was run by liberals. No way republicans would let it count.

not sure the qualifications for a medal so we are back to the start

Wrong Eastern BBQ >= Western BBQ

Eastern NC High School Football > Western NC

Eastern NC Women > Western NC

So Salisbury is number 10 in the state but is below the NC average in Algebra and only near the NC average in English. Looks like the rankings are solely based on the college readiness rating.

The fact that Cary is that high on the list and Enloe isn't makes me lol.

4/25/2013 10:23:12 AM

jordan matthews at 15?

usnews credibility watch

4/25/2013 10:30:00 AM

Enloe is ghetto.

I wonder how the public schools would fare vs the private schools.

4/25/2013 10:50:46 AM

So much WTF. How did Middle Creek and Pittsboro make it but Green Hope and Panther Creek didn't? Or Broughton?

4/25/2013 10:57:46 AM

i guess they aren't as good as the other schools you mentioned according to their metric?

4/25/2013 11:00:34 AM

I have been staying in both west and east NC. I agree with BlackJesus about the comment on women.

AC Reynolds representing #5

I'm oddly proud.

Public Education for the win!

4/25/2013 11:08:16 AM

Unranked high school master race reporting in

4/25/2013 12:07:51 PM

Reynolds sucks

North Buncombe should be higher than #11

4/25/2013 12:19:35 PM

there must be 8000 highschools.

who cares

^ weren't you homeschooled? your opinion doesn't matter

4/25/2013 12:21:24 PM

Salisbury has a history of making sure that only their best students actually apply for college which improves the statistics used by USA today. They are also a school that is 50-60% low income housing project minority and 30% country club brat. With the right person in charge those 30% can make any school look good.

4/25/2013 2:05:03 PM

^ I live a mile from SHS and it definitely has a unique mix of students. There are more poor black kids but also a considerable amount of country clubbers too. They also aren't as likely to take the at-risk kids from middle school (or so I've heard) and direct them toward the alternative school.

4/25/2013 2:50:57 PM

< Salisbury High School alumni right here!

4/25/2013 3:07:26 PM

I've always speculated that I could have gotten into a better college if I hadn't attended a good HS w/ lots of intelligent students.

Standards being lower at shittier high schools and whatnot.

4/25/2013 3:11:21 PM

Yeah, bunch of fuckin idiots at nc state

4/25/2013 3:14:02 PM

At SHS, if you were white, made decent grades and were an athlete then you could pretty much do whatever the hell you wanted. I didn't do jack shit and graduated with a 3.9 gpa which was enough to get me into NC State. I had one friend, though, who was black and lived in the hood. He graduated, received a diploma, but couldn't read well enough to pass his drivers license exam

4/25/2013 3:35:14 PM

Broughton not on the list


not surprised. They had a huge problem with overcrowding when I went there (10+ years ago) and I can only imagine how it is now

My Alma Mater is #4? No fucking way

4/25/2013 5:51:20 PM

I wonder how the hell Carrboro HS is on the list but Chapel Hill & East Chapel Hill HS are both not? From what I understood, that was the more ghetto of the three.

4/25/2013 6:11:04 PM

check out Goldsboro High School lolololol

4/25/2013 6:12:05 PM

i like how after the "Top 49" they just list all the other ones alphabetically

seems lazy

No Johnston County schools in the top 50. Shocker.

edit:
these rankings are deemed bullshit because southern guilford was ranked and grimsley was not.
