How Are the Schools? Who Knew?

I don't know why I clicked on this Newsweek article about The 100 Best High Schools in America, but imagine my surprise when I read the photo caption:

Jersey girls: Sophomores at McNair Academic High School in Jersey City, N.J., No. 15 on the list

Awesome! Not that I would necessarily want my daughter hanging around the pictured girls. I'm sure their smart but they look a little like what my mom would call "hard girls." And any daughter of mine would be schooled in fashion as well as the three Rs.
