[quote=Anonymous]I mentored a student who went to Bell. She graduated about six years ago, so this is old. But she took AP, was highly ranked in her class (like top twelve), and supposedly took a class at UDC for college credit. Since I mentored her for a couple years, I can tell you her reading and writing and other academic skills were terrible, terrible, terrible. Really poor. I had to drag her through a research paper assignment that should have been totally routine for a junior or senior in high school. And her SATs scores were incredibly low, except the essay part, because I basically had to teach her to write an essay to take the test. This is an AP student. Her college counselor was advising her to go to UDC or Montgomery College. She did get into a four-year liberal arts college, and really, really struggled. It was a miracle she graduated. So I was not impressed with what she told me about what was going on at Bell, even though the school, on paper, looked great. I am willing to believe a school can be turned around, but this wasn't all that long ago.    [/quote]
