The high school I attended, Mountain View High, is apparently ranked 224th best in the country. This seems about right: There's no way I graduated from a top 200 institution, but I couldn't fathom coming below 300th. I mean, right? Where would I have to have been educated? A fucking barn?
Worth noting: Gunn and Paly -- the oh we're so cool we went to school in Palo Alto -- high schools didn't even make the cut this year for the first time since 2003. I'll grant you that doesn't exactly pass the smell test, but neither does ol' MVHS being the 8th best high school in Northern California. I wonder if we got any points for having a student newspaper with its flag run down the left leg of the front page?

listen, Seth, I think you're getting a little too enthusiastic with these labels. "I mean it *was* a pretty campus" is not a useful label for a post. Neither is "ultimate nebbish: George Costanza."
Look, I'm just telling you what everyone's been saying behind your back, ok?
Sure, sure. But let's say J.D. posts on defending Northwestern or Walt writes on classifications of famous bald TV sidekicks, well, shucks, those labels'd be useful, no?
So, out of curiousity, I scanned the list for Northport High School (where I went).
In a strange coincidence, we came in at number 420 -- perfect for a place the locals affectionately refer to as "Northpot." Top 500 is not bad for a school where the majority of the student body is high. :)
