New York Times: Public Colleges Chase Out-of-State Students, and Tuition

[EarlVanDorn]

Could it be that some of the kids from Central HS don’t want to go to UA. If UA is indeed right across the street maybe they want to spread they wings a little and get away from home. Why the jump to either they don’t qualify or UA is not recruiting them. Lots of kids want to move away for college. I would like to see the numbers showing what colleges the kids from Central go to after graduation. What were they scores?

@sensation723 It COULD by that. Or it could be the fact that the Alabama Department of Education reports show that, based on the ACT Plan scores, only two to three percent of Central 10th-graders are on track to meet the ACT college readiness benchmarks in math and science. In other words, most of Central’s graduates aren’t ready for college.
