What really makes a high school low performing?

One could make a case for either the students, teachers, or funding to a school, but personally I think it’s the students. Its like that ‘you can lead a horse to water but can’t make it drink’ saying, only with students and teachers. A teacher can only do so much to help a student before they need to take the initiative themselves and start studying.

I went to an average to below average public school, and honestly my advice is to befriend the teachers. There’s a difference between befriending the teachers and becoming a teachers pet though. A good way to do that is to say join a sport where a teacher is a coach, or take multiple classes with a teacher you like. I was a very well-liked student throughout the faculty and was good friends with a teacher in every main subject that I could just stroll in and get help with just about anything at a moments notice.
