我举几个好的、公立高中的例子

NY: Stuyvesant High School

Admission: in 2014,  22,662 eighth-graders applied for 814 freshman seats.

Admission rate: 3.6%.

NY: Hunter College High School

Admission: in 2014, of 2,064 who took the entrance exam, only 182 got in based on their scores, plus 50 from the Hunter College Elementary School.

Admission rate (for test takers): 8.82% (The rate is higher than that for Stuyvesant HS because Hunter HS Entrance test is given in 6th grade only for students who scored above 90th percentile on 5th grade NY state exams).

With that in mind, the absolute admission rate for Hunter college is 0.882% among all eligible applicants in the whole school district(s), assuming all eligible candidates applied. But based on the number of applicant for Stuyvesant (the same general pool), not every single eligible candidate applied to Hunter HS. Therefore the rate could be even lower. In any event, because Hunter admits fewer students than Stuyvesant, if both schools relied on the same student pool, Hunter is more selective.

VA: Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology

Admission: in 2014, 2,900 students applied for admission to Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology for the freshman class beginning in September.  Only 487 students were accepted

Admission rate: 16.8% . To calculate the absolute admission rate, I got the following data. The whole school district has 183,417 students from kindergarten to 12th grade, which would give to about 14,109 per grade. Assuming only 480 students of Thomas Jefferson HS is from the school district, that would give an absolute admission rate of 3.45%.

One would assume that Stuyvesant HS is the most elective. But, in fact, Hunter HS should be the jewel of the crown! TJ, even with its national fame and glamour, is not that restrictive, in comparison with Stuyvesant HS and Hunter HS.
