Lowell High School
Lowell High School, founded in 1856, is one of the oldest public high schools west of the Mississippi River and has long been considered one of the most academically competitive public high schools in San Francisco and California more broadly. The school's admissions policy has been a recurring subject of significant public debate in San Francisco, shifting between merit-based academic admission and lottery-based admission at different points in recent years amid broader citywide debates over educational equity and access. Lowell's alumni include numerous prominent figures across politics, business, and the arts, and the school's academic reputation has made it a frequently cited example in national discussions about the tradeoffs between merit-based and equity-focused public school admissions policy. Lowell High School's combination of its long history as one of the West Coast's oldest public high schools and its position at the center of San Francisco's ongoing school admissions policy debates has made it one of the most closely watched public schools in the country.
VS
Bronx High School of Science
Bronx High School of Science was founded in 1938 and, like Stuyvesant, admits students through New York City's competitive SHSAT specialized high school entrance exam, and it has produced more Nobel Prize winners among its alumni than almost any other high school in the world. The school's science-focused curriculum and research opportunities helped establish its reputation during the mid-20th century Space Race era, when American public investment in STEM education was a significant national policy priority following the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik. Bronx Science's extensive list of notable alumni spans science, including multiple Nobel laureates in physics, alongside prominent figures in journalism, entertainment, and politics, reflecting the breadth of accomplishment among graduates of one of the city's oldest specialized public schools. Bronx High School of Science's combination of its remarkable Nobel Prize-winning alumni record and its historic role during the Space Race-era STEM education push has made it one of the most academically distinguished public high schools in American history.
