“I go to the eighth best high
school in Kentucky” may soon become your most reliable pickup line. U.S. News
named West High a “silver medal winner”, along with 1,789 high schools
nation-wide, ranked behind 2,515 “gold medal” high schools. West ranked 8th in
the state and 812th nationally.
Why not a gold medal? West’s
“College Readiness Index” (CRI) is 36.6. Because this study was based on data
from two years ago, this number accounts for the AP test participation rate and
success rate of the class of 2011. To
put things in perspective, the top 200 schools in the nation all had CRI’s
above 60 — 100 being a perfect score.
