College Preparation
At Kensington Woods, we understand that high school students know they are not prepared for college or the workplace. In fact, according to a February 2005 survey conducted by Peter Hart Research Associates, approximately 40% of graduates reported key gaps in their preparation; a majority noted that if they could do high school over, they’d work harder and take more challenging courses. We don’t want our students to be among that 40% who are not satisfied with their education, so we will push our students to plan and set goals while they are in high school, and then, we will work closely with them to make sure they are fulfilling their goals.
Your high school experience is the best chance you have to determine your future. No matter what your past performance was, you have a brand new opportunity to become a better student and succeed in life by reaching your goals and aspirations.
Research demonstrates that students who possess a clear vision for their future obtain higher levels of achievement while in high school, and recent studies are showing that students who choose a more rigorous course of study in high school are much more likely to be successful in college. Recent research indicates that for high school seniors, an improvement in math performance equals a significant boost in annual earnings.
To help students meet our goal of 100% acceptance to college, we provide students with the help and resources they need to help them succeed.
