College going rate
Bancroft-Rosalie School has been a participant in Education Quest grant program since 2008. The goal of the program is to increase the percentage of students that go to college- known as the college going rate.
Some of the things we have used grant funds for include:
1. sponsoring the college fair in West Point with the other Cuming County schools,
2. campus visits for sophomores and juniors, and recently the 8th graders,
3. paying for ACT test registration fees once for each student,
4. incentives for completing the ACT test prep course offered during the school day.
Since 2008 B-R has had one class with a lower than expected college going rate. Even though we stress the advantages of having a two or four year college degree (or other postsecondary training opportunities), sometimes it doesn't work out for some students.
As always, we ask for our parents to support us in our efforts to make sure all of our students know that college is an option they need to strongly consider.
