Russian high schools rating 2016
Oct. 5th, 2016 12:12 pmI read a Russian high school rating, they just published a fresh one for 2016.
My alma mater this time is #55. (Slightly dropped from #51 in 2015).
Then I tried looking for the school #40, Nizhny Novgorod, but did not find it anywhere in the list. I remember that in late 90s, there were more smarter kids graduating #40 than my school, so my first thought was "Sic transit gloria mundi".
But then I looked at the rating formula, and it is clear how my school could had surpassed #40. One of the key metrics is the enrollments rate to top 20 Russian Universities. Most of these top20 are in Moscow and St. Petersburg, except for Ekatirinburg, Tomsk, Novosibirsk and Kazan. But University of Nizhny Novgorod did not make it to top20. So all folks who graduate #40 and make it to a local University do not improve the score for #40.
There is obviously no top University in Cheboksary, so my fellow alumnus typically go to Moscow, St. Petersburg and Kazan once they graduate the school.
