Pros
The teaching staff are very dedicated, often either current college students or former teachers.
Cons
Management and the executives have no interest in furthering the education or preparedness for college or the real world of the students. Instead, they are wholly engaged with taking money from placated parents at the expense of their children, counselors, and other employees - the large number of lawsuits HS2 is engaged in attests to this fact. HS2 wants to promote themselves as having a great reputation, but they are unwilling to create effective curricula or classes for the students, and have no interest in the students with poorer grades. Essentially, high achieving students enter the program, get a bit of help, and enter prestigious colleges that they are likely to have been admitted to on their own, but HS2 takes all the credit. When the counselors are able to help the students have a better understanding of their agency in their own lives, it is because they defied management, the executives, and sometimes the parents. Students do not benefit from their time at this company since it will only invest the bare minimum to maintain its reputation, not to actually improve the lives of students - the counseling and teaching staff is capable of and motivated to change this, but the management and executives are unwilling to prioritize education.
