While Cherry Creek (Greenwood Village, Colo.) has the top all-around sports program in the nation, according to the MaxPreps Cup, a pair of Florida schools have the best overall boys and girls sports programs.
Jesuit (Tampa, Fla.), an all-boys school, tops the list of the best male programs in the MaxPreps Cup standings, coming ahead of St. Ignatius (Cleveland) and Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory (Indianapolis).
Meanwhile, Ponte Vedra (Fla.) has the top girls program in the MaxPreps Cup standings, beating out Lovejoy (Lucas, Texas) and Boise (Idaho).
Cherry Creek did have the top public school overall program while Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory has the best overall program among the private schools.
Sugar-Salem (Sugary City, Idaho) is the top-rated sports program from a small town, which is defined as any school with less than 1,000 students in a town with a population less than 10,000 people.
The MaxPreps Cup is a formula designed to determine the top overall high school athletic programs in the nation. Points are awarded for state championships, runner-up finishes and placement in national rankings. Points are awarded on a weighted basis with larger state 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 comeptition).
Schools are listed with their MaxPreps Cup rating for the fall sports season.
