High School Announces 100% College Placement of Boys

Article here. Excerpt:

'Boys' education is becoming a hot-button issue for modern education institutions in America as educators see disturbing trends. Across all demographics of ethnicity, socio-economic status, and age group, boys consistently underperform in school relative to girls. Overall, boys account for 90% of disciplinary referrals, 70% of failing grades, and they make up 44% of higher education attendees (male to female ratio in the US is 51:49). However, while the debate rages on for how to address the issue of educating and engaging young men more effectively, Grand River Academy seems to have the formula pretty well figured out.

Grand River Academy has been educating high school boys since 1831, emphasizing not only academics, but social development and an active lifestyle. For many struggling teenagers, Grand River has been a saving grace. It is common to hear that boys who enroll at GRA fared poorly in the public school system. Maybe they stopped caring about classes or had trouble paying attention. Maybe they were often in trouble with school administrators and staff. Maybe a student was on the brink of failing multiple classes. However, after starting at GRA, they become attentive, eager learners. Parents often tell stories of how frustrated they were that their brilliant sons just wouldn't put effort into their education, and even graduating high school seemed to be out of reach, let alone being accepted into college. However, after they started GRA classes, the problems disappeared. For this reason, some have referred to GRA as a "solution school" for boys' education.'
