BUSINESS FIRST EXPLANATION Recently, Business First magazine published its annual rankings of the schools in WNY. They are very upfront in saying that they will not divulge the specific formula they used to arrive at the rankings because other institutions have questioned them in the past and utilized the other data for their own purposes. This is their prerogative but they do give an explanation of “How the ratings were done.” This can be found on page 75 of the Buffalo Business First Guide to Western New York Schools 2007. Regarding the data itself, high schools were ranked in four core subject areas and the percentage of Regents diplomas for 4 years. The public schools were ranked on data from the school years 2002-03 to 2005-06. Private Schools were rated on their results between 2000-2001 and 2003-2004 (which were then statistically adjusted to 2003-2006 levels.) I’m not certain what this all means other than Sacred Heart finished 16th among all rated high schools in WNY and in the top ten of the English/Foreign Languages section. Other data regarding Sacred Heart’s progress regarding Regents exam results over the past 3 years in indicated below.
