[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Being in a great high school is just as important if not more important than college. Folks seem to have this mindset that nothing matters till you get to those 4 years. If you’re surrounded by mediocre students in a high school struggling to learn English then they will bring you down. You are a product of your environment. This concept of being a big fish just to game the admissions process is unfortunate. [/quote] My kids will not attend a mediocre school (their HS is good/middle of the road so not Langley either) but I would think in FFX County—even the mediocre schools have a group of kids who do well academically and hang out together. And studies do show you are a product of your environment when it comes to academics—that is, home environment. Parental SES, educational attainment, and attitude towards education. [/quote]
