All of the " + " schools improved their rank from last year, while all of the " - " schools dropped in the rankings. There are a couple of small notations-- First, I don't believe Cranberry Area is in D10 (They're D9). Second, I'm not sure if Valley Grove belongs to D10. Last, Titusville is listed as Venango county and I had always believed it to be in Crawford county. Remember these are listed by school district not by school (I.E. Crawford Central School District includes Meadville & Cochranton).
Largest Improvement:
1.) West Middlesex +39
2.) Iroquois +38
3.) Sharpsville +38
Steepest Drops:
1.) Greenville -54
2.) Franklin -28
3.) Grove City -28

It's always nice to see where these public schools rank when it comes to the education the kids are getting. Everybody knows it's the academics not the athletics that are supremely important.
