It's a bit of everything. Most of the people coming here have already been to school before so we all come in at the same level. Reading and writing and mathematics... they'd try to drill that all in at middle school so you could be prepared and get into a good high school.

Of course, the whole point of getting into a good high school was that it prepared you for a good college... so it's a bit of an endless cycle.
