Identifying the nation's top all-around athletic programs in a variety of different categories.
Rhode Island is a small state but it has two of the best high school athletic programs in the nation.
Bishop
Hendricken (Warwick) has the nation's top boys sports program
while La Salle Academy (Providence) has the top girls program,
according to the MaxPreps Cup standings following the winter sports
season.
Bishop Hendricken, an all-boys school, has won seven
state titles and was ranked No. 4 in the nation in boys cross country
during the fall. La Salle Academy, a co-ed school, has won six state
championships in girls sports and has finished second in two others.

Christian
Brothers (St. Louis, Mo.) is just 35 points behind Bishop Hendricken
(1050-1015) in the boys division while Carmel (Ind.), the overall
national leader with 1,831 points, ranks second in the girls with 832
points.
The boys and girls categories are two of 11 offshoots of the
MaxPreps Cup standings following the winter sports season – initially released on April 30.
Other lists include: Top 25 medium-sized school rankings, Top 10 small school
rankings, regional rankings (midwest, south, southwest, northeast, west
coast) and Top 10 public and private schools.
American Heritage
(Plantation, Fla.), last year's overall champion, is the top
medium-sized school (1,000 to 2,000 students) with 1,205 points. It is
one point ahead of Edina (Minn.) with 1,204.
Westminster (Atlanta), the 2013 overall MaxPreps Cup champ, is the No. 1 small school with 791 points.
For
the regional rankings, Carmel is No. 1 in the midwest, La Salle Academy
is the top team in the northeast, Green Hope (Cary, N.C.) leads the
south, Highland Park (Dallas) is No. 1 in the southwest and Jesuit
(Portland, Ore.) leads the west coast.
Carmel is the No. 1 public school while Jesuit is the top private school.
The MaxPreps Cup is a ranking system devised to rate every high school
sport state championship in the nation in order to determine the
nation's best overall high school sports programs. Varying point totals
are awarded to teams that win a state title, or finish in second place,
based on the type of sport, the size of the state, the type of
enrollment division and the number of teams participating in the
enrollment division. Points are also awarded for teams that appear in
national rankings for selected sports.
Jesuit (Portland) captured Oregon's state title for boys basketball, helping secure the No. 1 spot among all private schools nationally in the MaxPreps Cup standings.
