Parents move their children because there is no do-overs, not really. If you want your child to be accepted into a college they apply for, they have to have a consistent performance school record and high level classes. They have to have a solid education.

One thing that did work is our high school basically had high performers in one specific area of classes, with a separate lunch period even. It worked-the high performers continued to perform well, with a very good CO high school education and yes, applied for and went on to college successfully.

PS Important to note-if a student is a minority they are given more leeway re grades and testing for college enrollment acceptance. Their grades/tests are 'weighed' differently than the White students. Not a bigoted statement, just fact. I know I served for many years on the Bush mandated DAC committee and served in our schools too.
