The Filter’s premier rank. It identifies the best schools when combining both academic and lacrosse metrics.
This is the traditional college ranking, considering academic, admission and financial metrics. No lacrosse data considered.
This is a pure lacrosse ranking. Taking into consideration both historical and recent lacrosse success, but no academic metrics considered.
This ranking is based solely upon the performance of students after graduation from college.
This rank considers only how much in operating expense colleges spend per player.
This rank weighs the number of tournament appearances each college has made, then ranks on that basis alone.
Who is hot lately? This rank considers the 3 yr winning percentage of colleges, then ranks on that basis alone.
Money is the subject of this rank, specifically how much colleges have in the form of endowment.
Acreage, how much is the question. Is the campus tight or is there room to spread out?
There will be more rankings to come. Whenever we think of another, we’ll post it. Suggestions are welcome: team@thefilterlax.com
