The Bronx High School of Science

I'm guessing your list is for English or the Literature part of the curriculum and this one isn't.

Your list sounds like my HS list as I remember it. I forgot about The Catcher in the Rye. Their 2009 list just seems overwhelming to me. It shouldn't. The graduates must be brilliant.
