The 2004 Report Card on Schools for Pennsylvania and New Jersey is up. This link lets you search the two states or just the Philadelphia metro region (which includes parts of New Jersey). Some tidbits:
The highest public school mean SAT-V in the metro region is 637 (at Masterman High), while the highest mean SAT-M is 649 (also Masterman). It should be noted that 100% of the student body at Masterman takes the SAT. It should also be noted that the school has some mighty inspiring pillars.
The five charter high schools aren't performing quite as well yet on the SAT.
The private high school that tops the SAT-V scale is Germantown Academy at 669 (tuition $17,200), and the SAT-M winner is St Agnes Academy with a mean of 655 (tuition $19,150).
The Philadelphia school district has 627 kids listed as being homeschooled.
