kel20Nd wrote:I dont understand why you think we get a bad education at mandan just cause are school is a dump. Bismarck schools are teaching the same stuff as Mandan. You think if your from Mandan you are a pot head and alcoholic, lets just say you guys arent angels either. Sorry Bismarck you guys are just the same as Mandan, except are girls team wins and thats why every girl wants to play for Mandan.

I heard so and so and what and what... who has the proof... i would love to see it. and as for the comments about mandan and bad education and dumpy... well, thats about as low as it goes... I would really like to see a grade/act score comparison amongst the seniors on all the teams across the state... i bet the seniors on the mandan girls team would compare quite nicely if not beat the pants off of other senior girls bb players... wow people... put some facts in this forum instead of so and so and what and what.... this is simply low ball green jealousy commentary.

Also, the purpose of high school is to receive an education. Extra curricular activities are just that - extra. I'm not saying they can't get an education at mandan, but they can get a better education elsewhere.
so is bismarck a better place to recieve education? you proboly going to say yes, so then you throw in the EXTRA=which is Mandan Girls bball, and its an easy decision, im getting the same diploma you are from mandan as to bismarck layoff the little inside cracks at mandan. four of the girls on that team are well educated and are at the top 20 of our senior class. So obviously amundson makes sure education comes first, then winning state titles

Also kind of funny that Finley ended up a Four Winds a few years back when the old coach had a couple of good daughters and some other players also transferred there. Now the old coach left, Finley left after last season and Four Winds gets beat by 50 every night.

First of all demonfan... I doubt a division one university like creighton would give a C student an academic scholarship... unless the ACT score was 30 or higher.... and then the challenge would be why did the c student not study harder if they can 30 or more an ACT.... so to say that academic scholarhips are handed out like candy... to a top rated school like creighton is oh.. incorrect.... and baller... how does the graduation rates have anything to do with the quality of education... i think one has to look at why these kids are not graduating more than say the education there is bad because the percentage is less than bismarck... or what are you trying to say ... because in looking at the site... we have a state wide problem versus just a mandan bismarck issue...Baller wrote:demonfan74 wrote:JoJo1111 wrote:Good point baller... sorry about that, my mistake... but it doesnt excuse the comments about poor education in mandan etc... and i still would like to see all the proof of recruiting.

I knew there was a discrepency in graduation rates but I did not realize it was this big.
Bismarck school district graduation rate = 98.1%
Mandan School district = 74.3%
