To MW of NY: I got 790 on the English SAT and have a Ph.D.

You have given out complete MISinformation. There is NO SUCH WORD as "alot." Try finding it in a dictionary if you don't believe me. Google even has a whole tutorial on this common spelling error. SpellCheck is correct on this one, and you are all wrong!

My daughter's school isn't even mentioned despite the fact it has the third highest number of Intel Science finalist in the country, an incredible music program, dozens of AP courses, dozens of graduated going off to the Ivy League. Another US News and World Report list of "the best" using dodgy unscientific methodology and an elitist bias.
