More evidence ‘Best of Lists’ must always be taken with a grain of salt.
Does GoLocal Worcester know something Newsweek doesn’t? Hard not to ponder that question after Lexington High nearly topped the Worcester pub’s list of the state’s best high schools, but was left off Newsweek’s rankings of the nation’s top high schools. The No. 3 spot Lexington High claimed on GoLocal Worcester’s list of Massachusetts’ Top High Schools in 2013 appears a little closer to the norm, as these “Best of” lists go. In the not too distant past, LHS grabbed the No. 2 spot in Boston Magazine’s Top 20 for 2012, and earned the No. 204 spot nationally (No. 11 in Mass) from US News. Keep in mind, the two publications use different formulas and different starting points. This resulted in different schools making the grade, and …

I've looked at the DoE statistics (http://profiles.doe.mass.edu/sat/sat_perf_dist.aspx?orgcode=06400000&orgtypecode=5&) and noticed that the Concord Carlisle 2011-2102 average total SAT score is 1774.
