Top Ranking High Schools
The education system at the high school level in the US stands apart in its functioning from many other countries. Unlike other countries, within the US there is no standardization of high school curriculum that all the states are liable to follow. The curriculum and requisites of performance and assessment are decided upon by the individual states. Thus, the courses and subjects available to the students of high school vary in accordance to the location of the high school. |
Another aspect that brings in further variation in the education standards of the various high schools is the fact whether a high school is public or private. The public high schools in the country are run by the government and offer free education to the citizens and foreign students as well. However, since these institutions function on public funds, the quality of education imparted varies in accordance to the funds available. In comparison to these public high schools, the private high schools fair much better when it comes to the standard of the school, and the vast subject options available to the students that could include advanced math and science courses, a wide range of foreign languages, and superior art, music and athletic programs. However, tuition fee is mandatory for all students since these institutions are funded by private agencies.
