Program honored for getting children interested in college

The topic of students getting interested in college and actually going to college is important because how are they going to be able to get a job without a degree. They could get a job at like a fast food but that isn't going to help them much. It would help them buy some food and clothes but it will not help them with house payments. In fact they can't even get their own house without a degree and a good paying job. They have thoseprograms to actually help the students get interested and actually help them through the whole process if they are interested.
Shasta County has very little master degree because there is no university near our town. We have a Shasta College but no University. Statewide is more because there are colleges scattered across the state. Chico has a CSU but then that is far from here. I would think that there is a difference between the percentages because high schools here have the College options program. Recent data shows that when College options opened up their doors that a lot of students actually went to a college and gotten a degree.
Luckily we have the College Options program because without it, Shasta Countys pecentage of education for high schoolers going to college would probably be way smaller than it is now. I am actually very glad that they finally gotten a recognition for their work. Right now Shasta Countys percentage is 18.8%. Statewide Percentage is 29.5%. I really think that would kind of mean that Shasta County is doing a good job for right now. Shasta County alone has 18.8%. State wide is only 29.5% and that is statewide.
When I read the article and about how that some people have tested it( it being the number of percentage that high schoolers have actually advanced to college) and that the numbers didn't come out the same, I think that is probably because they are using another way to calculate the percentage. If you are going to calculate the percentages and want the same answer to the same problem then you might as well do it the same way. Of course it is going to come out as another answer because you didn't do the calculations right. I bet if the College options gave people who want to calculate the percentage the problem and how to calculate and explain it then the answers would come out the same.
