A survey was given to all Bancroft-Rosalie high school students at the end of the year to assess student satisfaction with the education quest program. Education Quest provided $5000 each year for the past four years with the goal to increase the number of graduates that go on to college. College includes both two year and four year schools as well as technical training programs.
