National Rankings: Best High Schools
The U.S. News rankings include data on more than 22,000 public high schools in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Schools were awarded gold, silver or bronze medals based on their performance on state assessments and how well they prepare students for college.
About the Awards
Gold—Top 500 Schools based on highest college readiness.
Silver—High-performing schools based on lower college readiness.
Bronze—High-performing schools based on state exam performance, listed alphabetically.
Award Distribution
Gold 2.4%
Silver 10.3%
Bronze 16.8%
No Medal 70.5%
HOW We Determine the Awards
STEP 1 Students perform better than expected in their state.
We looked at reading and math results for students on each state's proficiency(水平) tests and then factored in the percentage of economically disadvantaged students, who tend to score lower.
STEP 2 Disadvantaged students perform better than state average.
We compared each school's math and reading proficiency rates for disadvantaged students—black, Hispanic and low-income—with the state wide results for these student groups and then selected schools that were performing better than their state averages.
STEP 3 Student graduation rates meet or are greater than a national standard.
We left out schools from consideration if their graduation rates were lower than 75 percent--a starting point that is higher than a federal law that requires states to give extra resources to schools below 67 percent.
STEP 4 Students are prepared for college-level coursework.
We calculated a College Readiness Index,which is based or the school's AP participation rate and how well the students did on those tests. Tiebeakers were used to determine ranks of schools that achieved the same College Readiness Index.
21.Which plays an important part in winning medals?

a mom, I don't feel bad about being away from my three kids. When I had my first child, I was a
busy manager. My husband had a part-time job and cared for her the rest of the time. Once I became pregnant with my second kid, I quit my job to focus fully on writing.

a week. The whole reason I worked so hard to be able to write for a living was to be at home with my kids and here I was taking them to a day care center.I thought I was a failure then.
Over the past five years of being a freelancer(自由作家), I've realized a couple of things. As I wrote six months ago, "I thought I felt bad leaving my daughter for ten hours a day but now she is old enough to ask me to read her a story .Try telling your kid no, 20 times a day. It's cruel. You end up feeling worse for having to ignore them." I also realize not socializing with people weren't good for my mental well-being.
Not only that, but I can now show my kids that Mom is important and has a job at a flashy office building, something they didn't realize when1 sat around in yoga pants typing on my computer all day long.

Making decisions when shopping is often a tough call. Even if you're satisfied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices ,until dropped dead?
Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles. " Maximizers" like to take their time and weigh a wide range of choices, sometimes every possible one —before choosing." Satisficers" would rather be fast than thorough
36 So even if they see what would seem to meet their requirements, they can't make a decision until after they've examined every option to make sure that they're making the best possible choice. Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June. They found that the maximizers landed better jobs. 37 "The maximizers is kicking himself because he can't examine every choice and at some point had to just pick something, " they say." Maximizers make best decisions and end up feeling bad about him. 38 "
Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers. Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, his research found.
Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making. 39 For instance, if you're picking a restaurant for lunch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your choices.
Once you've arrived at a decision,stick with it. 40 To limit the number of choices you can set a time for decision-making. Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decision,and there are only bags you can consider, you'll save time.You'll be happier with your decision, too.
A.Firstly, decrease your range of choices.
B.Maximizers are people who want the best.
C.Just accept no decision is ever completely perfect.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/864322910.html,paring is often a must when you make a decision.
E.Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good.
F. The other is to make decisions more accurately at the beginning.
G.Their starting salaries were 20 percent higher but they felt worse about their jobs.
