High School Education in America

High School Education in America

Education in America has a large range of differences. Many kids attend High schools that have a different culture, or way of doing things. Some students attend school in an independent school district, while others either attend private schools or school in the privacy of their own home.

Students attend public high schools all over the world. Some kids attend them because their parents either can’t afford a private high school, or do not believe in private education. Public schools are growing in number of students each year, which are causing schools to become overcrowded. In the last three years, school shootings have become very popular. There have been a number of student/ teacher relationships that start as early as seventh grade. Violence is the number one issue world wide in public High schools.

An estimated 30-35% of students in the world attend private schools. It has been a proven fact that kids that attended private high schools are better prepared for college. This is possible because there are fewer disturbances, and a less populated building. Students are tested before being accepted into private schools so therefore, most kids who are not college prep. material are filtered out. Another proven fact about students attending private high schools is that they are sheltered from the public. When the kids graduate and go off to college they have a better chance making it academic wise, but not socially. They have not been exposed to public school life as much as a public school graduate would have been. Private schools spend more one-on-one time with students helping them with homework, or even studying for a test. Some private schools are Christian schools, which range from different religions. These schools require that you take a religion class.
