The best high schools in the US

The complete list of the 1,300 top U.S. high schools well ..  what’s anything to do with me?  :)  I have time and patience for the top 10 only, and my school isn’t within.  See No Evil, Hear No Evil.  Today is our school budget vote for 2008/09 year.  Our school tax rate is the second lowest in our county at $301.63 per $100 of assessed valuation.  The budget is $181m of which $169m is from our real property tax, and state funding accounts only $7m.  It has an 5.35% increase fm the current year and the real property tax increase is 5.98%.  With approximately 6000 kids in the school, it cost $30,000 to educate a child.  Wondering what’s the cost per child for the top 10 schools on this list.
