    My school did not make the list.

    Also, I think the image used to promote this list is racist.

    http://www.msn.com

    Just look at the banner.

    My school has one of the top drug and pregnancy rates in the country. I'm not even going to bother looking. @_@

    I don't see it as racist. Why do you believe that it is?

    They choose 3 students to represent "The top 100 High Schools in America."

    All three are Indian women!

    That is a very skewed and very stereotypical image, and I would slap MSN on the wrists if I could.

    Imagine if there were an article on "The bottom 100 High Schools in America," and the three students chosen for the image were African American or Latino men. The racism is obvious.

    Get over it. If "The Top 100 High School in America" image looked like this:
    I would see your point as valid.

    Though statistics show Asians are clever (and also more likely to get obese and have NIDDM) while Latinos and Blacks are underachieves. If it is based on statistics it is not classed as discrimination.

    Haha, Rye is an area in NY. I must go there. :o

    Not surprisingly, my school didn't make the cut. It's pretty middle of the road in every sense of the term.

    The only Fresno-area high school to make the list, ironically enough, was my school's rival campus. Punks.

    My school came in at #837.

    Kinda suprised Rye came in that far back. But only a little.
