華而街日報曾經在2007年做的一項調查， 根據該年在八個頂尖大學 - 哈佛大學(Harvard)，普林斯頓大學(Princeton)，麻省理工學院(MIT)，威廉姆斯(Williams)，波莫納(Pomona)，斯沃斯莫爾(Swarthmore)，芝加哥(University of Chicago)和約翰斯•
霍普金斯大學(Johns Hopkins) 就讀的新生人數並根據其高中母校應屆畢業生人數編製了一份清單。再以進入這些大學的學生人數除以其母校畢業生人數所得出的百分比排名。
由下表我們可以看出輸送學生到這8所大學百分比最高的前15名都是美國的私立名高中。 而在這65所高中中，公立的不多。 排名最好的公立高中是位於紐約市的HUNTER COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL， 排名第16名。 其它的Princeton High School 排名第33名；Stuyvesant High School 排名第38名；Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology 排名第42；以及 Boston Latin School 排名第52名 。
