They are not preparing these young adults to enter highter level colleges. At best, they are preparing them to enter the local community college that is not much better than the school as far as the education received. The administration itself has admitted that they are behind in math, so their solution is to charge over $100 each for "dual credit" trig, calculus, and stats classes with the class only counting as a college credit IF you get a high enough score on the ACT in math. These are classes that should be offered without paying that type of cost for it to MAYBE count as a college credit. Even after taking them taught at the high school, they are not prepared if they need to take them in college.As one parent stated, sports are more important than anything. Also, what your name is is just as important, so you can be publically fawned over, yet things that are important are ignored if the child doesn't have the right last name, so their confidence and abilities are not built on.
