How do the UK and US high school and college systems compare?

It is generally stated that the UK system is more disciplined while has more structure and the US system enforces more creative, personal, and "out of the box" thinking. However, is there any specific reason on system may be better than the other? #college #higher-education #secondary-education

Does the high school you go to affect your chances getting into the college you want.

I go to Roxborough High school and I don't know why but when I tell people sometimes they tell me its a bad school to go to when its really not.Im just wondering if colleges will do the same thing and look over my application because of it. #college
