For us it seems to encourage the students that are below to improve. We have had many students who entered the program thinking about just getting out of school with no future. they left headed to a good school and a promising career. Tracking our grads finds more than 96% heading off to additional school. Most of the remainder are heading to military life. We have had some students who were the first in their extended family to graduate high school. One of those received a full ride scholarship to Kettering.
