Yes, Chugach students go to college and at rates higher than many districts. The model is a marvelous idea but only if you believe you want to teach ALL children to high levels. Most schools are not ready to make that commitment because the belief is that only some students can (should) achieve at high levels. The Bell curve is alive and well. Chugach decided they would expect all students to achieve to high levels.
BTW, colleges are using more than grades to sort students because so many have perfect or near perfect GPA's.
Educating the best of our children is important. Educating all our children is essential and really is hard work.
College Bound??
