[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actually they do exist and they are living at home after failing out of their after first semester/year now going to community college. And yea they are UMC.

Wait until your kids go to college and read the fb pages of all the parents freaking out about their failed classes and being put on academic probation.

Good luck poster..you are in for a rude awakening!!!!!

Top schools like say Princeton have a 98% graduation rate for all students (and a 98% freshman retention rate).  Princeton is around 64% from public school and 36% from private school.

They don't have data on the 2% that drop out...so, a person like Miles Cole (public HS kid; Forbes 30 under 30) who drops out to found a start-up, is in the same statistic of a kid who flunks out.

It's again silly to claim public high school kids are all struggling at these top schools.  A school like Princeton has 80% submitting test scores, and average SAT scores of like 1560.  The athletes (who skew private school) have 35% getting admitted TO, so that means even more of the general population is submitting scores.[/quote]
