the highschool i used to go to didn't have a very challenging cirriculum. it was much easier to get really high grades, even in honors classes. quite frankly, there were people in honors/AP classes whose intellect would not even get them into accelerated classes in my new school. i was the top student at that school, and in my new school, i'm still in honors/AP classes, but no longer at the tippy top (some kids in my school are just geniuses, really). but if two kids, one being myself who will graduate from the much better, but also more challenging school with pretty good grades, and one student from my old school who would end up with a strong application and very high GPA because of the easiness of the classes, even if the do have an honors title, which on would have a better chance of getting accepted to "prestigeous university"? my SAT scores will definately be higher, but colleges always say that's just one factor. do they consider the school itself when looking at applications?
