Newsweek's List of the 1,000 Top U.S. Schools

Is there a Wisconsin school on page 1 (Rankings 1-100)? No.

How about the second page (101-200)? Not there either.

You have to get to the third page before you find Rufus King at #213!

New Berlin (350) and Whitefish Bay (469- congratulations Bill) also make the top 500, but that's it!

We have one of the highest per-pupil costs in the country and some of the highest property tax rates and a personal income tax. Most of that tax money goes to education. And this is the result?

UPDATE: 5/2/2006 We fell even further. This year's report has Rufus King falling to 308 - still tops in the state!
