Cal is way too damn low.

If we are talking Cal academics... they shouldn't be anywhere near that low.
 
Those athletes are lucky as hell to get a free ride to Lakeside. It is a great education, even if you are only getting a 2.0 as the article reported for one of them. A 2.0 at Lakeside is like a 3.5 at a public high school.

Look at this dumb motherfucker here who has never heard of grade inflation.

More like purchasing grades at private schools.

$20k per year don't buy a 2.0. That's $3k per year territory.

 
I had a friend who went to Lakeside and they definitely don't have grade inflation. He had just a 2.8 GPA there but scored a perfect 800 math score on the SAT while I knew someone else who went to O'Dea, got a 4.0 and scored barely a 1200 (back when it was out of 1600).

Garfield is getting better at academics because of rising property values surrounding it (thanks to gentrification). Some long-time residents around there hate it because it's not diversity on their terms. Fuck them.

If I had the money to send my future kids to Lakeside, I've heard it's awfully expensive now. Might be more worth it to send my kids to Garfield, Roosevelt, or Franklin (depending on where I live) and then use 1/5th the money on private tutors.

Well your sample size of 1 is certainly enough to convice me.

Or maybe the 2.8 GPA kid was just really good at math and didn't work that hard. And maybe the O'Dea kid worked really hard for that 4.0 but just wasn't that smart.

Or you definitely proved there isn't grade inflation because one guy got a 2.8.

Either way.

Attend Lakeside. Then pop off.

If you don't warm up woodchips for power and attend a "little Ivy" then you've wasted your Lakeside education.

Go fuck yourself Blasphemet
 
Fair point but if there was grade inflation at Lakeside and then their students didn't do well on their standardized tests (which sniff-outs grade inflation), they wouldn't send a lot of kids to top 25 schools.

In football terms, it's akin to a coach saying a lot of his guys run 4.4 - 4.5 40's and then come game time, that speed is nowhere to be found.

Basically, when it comes to academics, Lakeside has the sizzle AND the steak.

Exactly. Going to Lakeside and getting *good* grades will get you into any school you want, Harvard, Brown, MIT, etc (assuming your test scores are good and no other issues).

I doubt Garfield's AP kids can claim that yet.
