Did You Know?�. High School Senioritis may cause lower first-year college academic performance
Students who do not take demanding or challenging courses during their senior year may need to take college re-mediation courses. Often student's don't consider their senior year as a foundation for future education and are often unaware that they might be required to take placement exams once they enroll in college. Not using the senior year to prepare for college-level coursework is a lost opportunity to gain critical skills needed for college success.
Here are some suggestions to help students make the most of their senior year in High School and be better prepared for college:
Rethink the senior year courses, include those which provide a better transition to higher education or work. Take advanced courses, consider enrolling in local community college courses, do coursework whihc inculde community service projects, do an internships related to academic work. Be sure seniors know that they may be have to take additional placement exams at college so they understand the importance of enrolling in math and writing courses.
