I hope so, but college matriculation is a far cry from college success.
Urban schools, including Catholic and charter schools, only track collect acceptance, not graduation. There’s a reason for it.
I would say these kids are going to make it, because they’re not just being passed on through, but actually have to study and succeed in this school before they even think about college.
Public schools...not so much. The kids get passed on no matter what, they get helped into college - and they are totally unprepared and drop out.
That’s not going to happen with these kids.
“Urban schools, including Catholic and charter schools, only track collect acceptance, not graduation. There’s a reason for it.”
It’s more work.
It would be interesting to compare this school to the urban schools these students would otherwise attend.
So this story is all bad???? What you say might be true, but you don’t stand a chance in college if you do not satisfy the basics. Be happy for these kids…they certainly look happy, don’t they?
