An other trip down memeory lane - school profile

<p>I found this high school that has all the profiles posted on the web since 1960 -
[School</a> Profiles and Enrollment Reports](<a href=“http://www.oprfhs.org/about/School-Profile.cfm]School”>http://www.oprfhs.org/about/School-Profile.cfm)</p>

<p>It looks like this school has remianed besically the same in size, and has always sent a lot of kids to college. It doesn’t look like the ethnic demographics have changed that much since the time they started tracking them. </p>

<p>But I found this interesting -

  1. I didn’t even know schools had profiles like this since the 1960s.
  2. The number of A grades given has increased from around 15% to around 30+%. I don’t know if this indicates better students or grade inflation.
  3. In the 70s around 100 kids took AP tests. Now it’s closer to 800.</p>

<p>IMO the reason they have school profiles going back that far is because they are a college prep school. Even back in the 60s 85% went on to further schooling. Now it’s over 90%.</p>
