How are private schools nominated?
Private schools are nominated by the Council for American Private Education (CAPE). Additional information is on CAPE’s website at http://www.capenet.org/brs.html Top Does the “top 10 percent” requirement mean that the school has to have been in the top 10 percent of all the schools in the state on both reading and mathematics for at least the past three years? Or could it be for the current year only? The school must be in the top 10 percent for the latest year of the reported tests. Depending on when state test results are available, that year may be the current one or it may be the previous year.
