Inadequate preparation of high school graduates for college is a topic of growing concern throughout education as well as in industry, state legislatures, and the general public. Using a quality framework, education is viewed as an overall system within which high schools and universities can work together to improve the quality of incoming students and to increase their ability to succeed in college. The transition from high school to college can be approached as a standard customer/supplier relationship: a customer (university) working with suppliers (high schools) to specify what the requirements (skill levels) are for the inputs (students) that are provided, and to inform the suppliers how well they are currently meeting these requirements (feedback loop).A survey of college seniors majoring in business and engineering was conducted. They were asked to rate how well their high school work had prepared them for college in several key areas: academic program; teaching practices; and support structures and extracurricular opportunities. Students felt that they were well prepared in mathematics and science (engineering), that advanced placement classes were very effective, and that teacher attitudes were generally positive. On the other hand, technology and computers usage, speech and oral communication, and career guidance were seen as areas needing improvement. Using a feedback process from the university to its major supplying high schools to focus school improvement efforts on areas that can enhance students' preparation for college can be of substantial benefit to all stakeholders in the system.
