<p>"But, it honestly sounds like your high school is above average. " </p>
<p>Above average? maybe. The average high school really sucks. Moreover, an above average high-school like Live Oak is only above average in getting people to graduate and into no-name schools. Its average because the analysis is taken relative all high-schools. Of course there many high- schools that can’t even get their students to graduate.These schools shouldn’t even count since they can even function properly and the government has given up all hope in salvaging them. So Live Oak being above average is certainly misleading. Certainly I would argue that my schools grading standards are below average. People get A’s in AP classes and then they end up with 2s or 3s on AP tests. If the school was up to par, an A would imply an 5. My high school is not preparing students for college. The valedictorian of 05 received Cs(in the same classes that he already took in HS) in UCLA. I would argue that if he went to a better high-school, his GPA would be much higher. </p>
<p>Also, just what is average? Can the average person solve 5x+3=13 ? Probably not. If you take this into account. Then one could make the argument that even people who are twice as intelligent as the aforementioned person are still going to be mediocre.</p>
