[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More misrepresentations, PP? You quoted the average for   PUBLIC schools. The average for private schools is much higher and well over 50%. [b]Many CTCL schools are just average private schools and sometimes below average when it comes to graduation rates.  Nothing special. That’s the point.[/b][/quote]

Through all this back and forth and the attempts to try to make excuses for the average to poor performances of many CTCL schools, this is the main point. They’re not that special and many are especially poor no matter how you slice it.

I am not arguing that all the schools are bad as there are some that are really doing well. But the whole idea of lumping them all together as so special when there are schools included with under 50% 6 year graduation rates is ridiculous. And there are SO many other similar non-CTCL schools with better results.

If so many of these schools are struggling with finances, retention, graduation, and recruitment even WITH the benefit of the CTCL promotion, that should be a huge red flag to anyone considering one of the weaker schools.

None of these types of comments speak to the OP’s question, though. S/he asked for personal experiences. I’m glad some were given here, but I’d love to see more. [/quote]

OP would have been smarter to ask about specific schools they were interested in or about types of LACs rather than try to use DCUM to promote all CTCL schools. Really seems like one super defensive person on here is working for CTCL. [/quote]
