	Top High Schools: FAQ - Newsweek America's Best High Schools - MSNBC.com
		All schools that NEWSWEEK researchers Dan Berrett and Dan Brillman and I found that achieved a ratio of at least 1.000, meaning they had as many tests in 2004 as they had graduates, are on the list on the NEWSWEEK Web site, and the top 100 schools on that list are named in the magazine.
		I feel that when schools deny their average students a chance to have that experience, they should not be rewarded with higher ratings because their passing rates are high.
		The more schools I have examined, the more I have come to believe in the power of high school cultures, which are different in different parts of the country for reasons that often have little to do with the usual keys to high school performance—the incomes and educations of the parents.

	Findings
		Top sending districts have relatively high percentages of eighth graders taking Sequential I Math, the content of which is essential for the entrance examination for the elite schools; four of the top five have between a quarter and nearly one half their eighth graders in Regents math courses.
		In contrast, with just three exceptions, the 18 schools at the top of our list are all also from the five top sending districts citywide; these 18 schools (21 percent of the schools in the study) have 55 percent of the Regents math eighth graders in the study.
		Schools are still refusing information to parents who live outside the attendance zone (I.S. 292 in District 19) or telling people to call district offices which, in turn, are also not helpful (I.S. 57 and 324 in CSD 16, I.S. 2 and 320 in CSD 17, I.S. 162 in CSD 7).

	washingtonpost.com: Is High School as Bad as All That?
		Stuyvesant High School was a specialized math/science school, and it was a factory for producing college applicants.
		High schools need not only to provide their students better access to colleges, but also give them the opportunity to succeed outside the academic community.
		High school is almost a part of childhood, and when Gates says that students "have to" always be doing "rigorous work" in high school, I find it almost frightening.

	Richard Drew by Peter Howe - The Digital Journalist
		For Richard Drew the worst moment photographing the tragedy of the was not photographing the burning buildings, or people throwing themselves out of the windows to certain death, or the collapse of the buildings, nor any of the other gruesome sights that he saw that first day.
		I went around the corner to get a cup of coffee to come back around to this pen area where all the people were coming over to tell their stories to the media, and I was on my way back with this cup of coffee, and my phone rang.
		So, I hung with them, waiting for people to come, and I was standing next to a very nice policeman from the 13th precinct, and all of a sudden he said "Oh my gosh, look at that!" I looked up and there were people coming out of the building.

		In Thoms's introduction, she notes that the goal was "to capture the ways individual people express themselves in speech," and, indeed, the collective impression is one of a group therapy session that may well provide some healing for teen readers still struggling with the event's aftermath.
		The pieces describe the pain of watching people jump to their deaths from office windows, the terror of being separated from their families, the lingering aftereffects of being temporarily housed in a different school, and the post-traumatic stress that nearly paralyzed all 3200 students.
		Stuyvesant High School is practically next to ground zero, so the students, teachers and staff at the New York City High School had an eyewitness seat to the World Trade Center tragedy.

	Amazon.com: Eleven Stories High : Growing Up in Stuyvesant Town, 1948-1968: Books: Corinne Demas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		A comfortable, two-career couple (her father was a dentist, her mother a high school biology teacher), they sent their only child to competitive public schools.
		Stuyvesant Town residents, past and present, will appreciate discussions such as the longing for a dog in a place where cats weren't even allowed in apartments.
		The added attraction for me was that the author graduated from Hunter High School, my alma mater, her mother taught at Stuyvesant High School, where my husband attended, and the vignettes of my education at Hunter brought me back to Lexington Avenue and 68th Street in a way that only my own year book could.

		I can’t remember when I was first “depressed.” My therapist in high school told me about “the medication,” as though it were good.
		In high school I was interested in writing, meditation, yoga, therapy and reading books that took spiritual perspectives.
		My therapist thought the medication (Prozac) would help me hold onto the sense that people liked me. My problem from her eyes was that people liking me was a bottomless pit.

		He went on to teach at Seward Park High School in downtown's Lower East Side, settling eventually at Stuyvesant, where he spent the bulk of his career before retiring in 1997.
		Because Stuyvesant is such a specialized high school, it can buy books that are not on the New York State Text Book Law (NYSTL) list, he said.
		McCourt often returns to Stuyvesant to speak to individual classes, but this was the first time he came to launch a book while raising money for the department.

	Charter school will be a first for girls
		A charter school is a public school, yet is given leeway in curriculum and hiring.
		With the school’s 90-slot roster quickly filling up and a waiting list growing, it seems to be something families have been waiting for, and are willing to send their children to for the education.
		Girls Prep Executive Director Miriam Lewis Raccah says this is part of the balance school leaders hope to cultivate at the new school, that she and Principal Nakia Haskins felt it was important to emphasize strength as a characteristic of both body and mind.

	The New Yorker: PRINTABLES
		By 1908, the freshman class was seven per cent Jewish, nine per cent Catholic, and forty-five per cent from public schools, an astonishing transformation for a school that historically had been the preserve of the New England boarding-school complex known in the admissions world as St. Grottlesex.
		The Ivy League schools justified their emphasis on character and personality, however, by arguing that they were searching for the students who would have the greatest success after college.
		A law school that wants to select the best possible lawyers has to use a very different admissions process from a law school that wants to select the best possible law students.
