Nipmuc Regional High School ranked within the top 20% of schools with the smartest students in Massachusetts, based on SAT testing, with a ranking of 63 out of 348 schools.
At this time of year schools around the country are ranked for best high schools in America, in the state, etc. When looking at the rating you need to see what the formula for the ranking is; for example is student teacher ratio a higher percentage of the formula than SAT scores? According to the Boston Business Journal SAT scores are still the “preferred measuring stick used to assess a student’s readiness for college.”
In other “best school” rankings Nipmuc scored lower than some surrounding schools but those rankings weighed heavily on student teacher ratio and per pupil spending which makes a better school but does it produce higher SAT scores?
