[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why were the Basis College matriculations so mediocre last year? I just watched the commencement video. Most "honors" grads going to places like Temple, Penn State, Michigan State. Valedictorian to Duke Salutatorian to NW Only Ivy admits were Brown (URM), Yale (URM), Yale (kid who had done years of Latin quiz bowl competitions at Yale). Less than 5% of the class to top 20 schools. I know that college isn't everything but why take years of AP classes if you're going to end up at Penn State? You could make it there on much, much less. [/quote] I don't see a high school education as simply punching a ticket for college. For example, even if there are two paths to Penn State, the more rigorous high school education will make the student better prepared for college and life. [/quote]
