Na na na na na We're not as Dumb as you Thought we Were

From the LA Times:

In a first-ever ranking of high schools by U.S. News & World Report magazine -- best known for its influential, and controversial, ranking of colleges and universities -- 23 of the top 100 schools in the nation were from California, including 10 from the Los Angeles area. Also in the top 10 were the Oxford Academy, a college preparatory school in the Anaheim Union High School District that accepts students by examination, and the Preuss School, a charter school under the joint oversight of the San Diego Unified School District and UC San Diego.

So there! San Diego has a smarty school! They have smart people doing smart things being smart and loving the smart in life. Such good students.

The Preuss School is currently under a cloud because of allegations of grade-tampering, but that would not appear to affect its ranking, since U.S. News relied on standardized test scores, not grades.

Et Tu LA Times? You couldn't just NOT mention that for a minute while we celebrate, touche. TOU-CHE.
