ACT Practice essay #1

High school should be extended to five years for many reasons. Students would be able to achieve a higher Grade Point Average, and would gain more values and maturity being with their families

            If more years were included in high school, students could raise their Grade Point Average even higher. The more classes you take, the more grades you receive, the higher your GPA can soar. One main thing that colleges look for in a student is his/her GPA. Imagine how many more students would enter college if their GPA was higher. But an outstanding GPA can only be produced with the support of an entire family.

            When young people enter college, they need to be prepared with strong, cemented values and a mature temperament. With another year to be living with their families, many students would gain all of these values and more if high school were five years long. If college students didn’t have a strong moral foundation, how can they succeed in college? If they aren’t mature enough to handle college, they will not be able to handle the responsibility. Instead of these students studying for a big test they have the next day, we could find them playing Mario Kart in their college dorm.


These are the reasons high school should be five years long. Students would be able to achieve a higher Grade Point Average, and would gain more values and maturity being with their families.
