While several Morris districts made the cut, Dover Superintendent James McLaughlin says his district's high school, which ranked 99th, was listed due to “faulty data,” DailyRecord reports.

The U.S. news report stated 52 percent of Dover High School students took at least one AP exam in the 2018-19 school year, but McLaughlin says the accurate rate is around 23 percent and that the other data “just doesn't seem to jive with what we have," he told the outlet.
