[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly? I am surprised the pass advanced rate at TJ for math is as low as it is. Then we have schools considered in the top with math pass advance rates under 2% what is going on with math instruction in this state?

Honestly? Just looking at those numbers I am not wow by any of them. But I think there is also more to a school and what makes it great than test scores or absentee rates? I don't know.

I don't put too much stock into that stuff. [/quote]

As a parent who sent kid to TH and reaped the many benefits I am glad we did put a lot of stock into that stuff. HS matters people. [/quote]

I would argue high school matters more than college; i went to an elite college and it’s assumed you are already a good writer, fast reader and note taker, have excellent study skills, and are capable at math. There was very little instruction in foundational topics, everything was taught at an advanced level from get go. [/quote]

Yes. That's the way it's supposed to be. High school is supposed to prepare you for college. Hence, "college prep" curriculum.[/quote]

Yes, HS should prepare you for college, but that doesn’t mean it “matters more.”  Would-be employers are looking at where you went to college/how you did there. I really doubt they care where you attended HS. Some don’t even care which collehe, as long as you have a degree & skills. [/quote]
