Is Lake Worth High School Really an 'A' School?

Smart people who live around here know the answer to that question: Of course it's not.

Lake Worth High School somehow managed to claw itself up from an "F" rated school to an "A" rated school in 2010. Does this mean anything? I guess not. Lake Worth High School isn't even prepping kids for community college. This is embarrassing:

It would be amusing that the Lake Worth High School graduate who is quoted here knows, and is saying flat out, that the high school did not prepare her for that "next level" of coursework. But it's sad, really. She was cheated out of a decent education, and is having to do remedial math the summer before starting at Palm Beach State College (formerly Palm Beach Community College).

"High school, it was like: We need to get you graduated and that's it," 18-year-old Darian Matos told the Palm Beach Post of her experience at Lake Worth High. She'd passed all of her FCATs and recceived her high school diploma.

I'd like someone from the Palm Beach County School District to step forward and say to this young woman: "I'm sorry. We failed you. You deserved better."
