College Prep.
If 28% of a graduating high school class go on to a four year universtiy, and if 37% of that same graduating class go on to a two year university, what are the other 35% doing? And if this were your high school, would you be bothered by those statistics?
Today's work force needs to be skilled, but we continue to send a small portion of our students to universities. What needs to change at a school in order for college to become the choice for a majority of its students?

A few of our students go to trade school, but a few drift for a while until they figure out what they want to do with your life. Our college and career counselor does a really good job of trying to reach every kid to make them think about what they are going to do about themselves after leaving high school. Please note how I phrased that, since quite a few are not leaving with a diploma.
But yes, I am still appalled that these kids think that working at a burger joint will pay the bills.
How about bringing back the Vo-Tech H.S.? Not everyone is cut out for college. Clearly the "everyone is college bound" is not working.
or maybe they need to know and to go to career development office... it's very important!
