While Atlanta's Westminster finished as the top high school sports program in the country in the 2021-22 MaxPreps Cup standings, it was another Atlanta school that finished with the top girls program.
Marist (Atlanta) edged Westminster by three points, 1,238 to 1,235, for the best girls sports program in the nation. Catholic-B.R. (Baton Rouge), meanwhile, was the easy winner for boys programs as it outdistanced St. Xavier (Louisville, Ky.), 1,776 to 1,452.
Westminster did have the top point total among private schools while Carmel (Ind.) finished No. 1 among public Schools.
Mountain Lakes (N.J.) finished the year as the No. 1 Small Town sports program. Small Town schools are those with under 1,000 enrollment in towns with a population of under 10,000 people.
The MaxPreps Cup is comprised of a formula that attempts to determine
the best overall high school sports programs in the nation. Points are
awarded on a weighted basis with larger states receiving more points
than smaller state (due to more competition), more popular sports (based
on NFHS participation survey) receiving more points than less popular
sports and larger schools gaining more points than smaller schools
(again based on more competition).
