[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most high schools participate in the student clearinghouse tracking system.  My suggestion to the OP would be to make an appointment with someone in the districts enrollment office and let them know that you are looking at public v private and would like to know more about the programs they offer particularly for college prep.  Let them know what you want to discuss in advance so they can pull the necessary information and have it ready when you go in for the meeting.  They will be able to tell you a fair amount about success rates in college and where kids go to college.

I would not worry to much about "remedial" class requirements.  It is a bit of a scam money maker for the colleges.  Personally I would suggest retesting if the kid/family were reasonably sure about where they should come in.

Hmm. Good suggestion. I'm pretty sure we are going to go the private route, but I am going to do as you suggest before I make a final decision. As for the remedial class requirments, are you serious? It never occurred to me (or the parent) this could have possibly been a scam. She said her kid missed the cut-off or failed or whatever it is called by 2 points. [/quote]
