The patch, and High Schools

[Angelhearth]

Nah, didn't really work, at least not on an old save. It quintippled the number of students, from around 100 to a little over 500, in a city with a population of 65,000, but the Elementaries still have 3,600, the colleges 1,600, and the University 2,000. All of those numbers tell me that the High Schools should probably be around 2,500, maybe even more, as there are normally way more High School students than College students,s or University students. So, no, it didn't work.

if u have more office buildings in your city the amount of poeple going to school will increes. there olso buildings that increes poeple wanting to go to school. i have a 30k city where all the scools are filld up to the rim. even making a profit on schools.

on the 30k map i have 2 elementary schools 1 full 1 half full. 1 high school half full. 2 college 1 full 1 half full. and 1 universety full. all school buildings have max out upgrade for poeple that can fit in the school.

And you don't find it starnge you have so few high school students? Do you think they go directly from elementary to college or university?

When I check they stay 6 months in my 2 elementaries, 11 and 16 months in my 2 high schools, 7 months in my 2 colleges, and 12 months in my university. That sould give way more students in high school than in elementary, college, or university, but there are far less. Can you explain that? Do you still think they fixed it?

How old is your city? Are people still moving in? If you have mostly young adults moving in to attend college/uni and/or starting families it would make sense that those would be the high demand education levels. Do the numbers change at all as the population ages?

[Logie]

Mine balanced out nicely i had a major college number, think 5000 eli but only 2600 actually going.

Also notice office has spiked as well

According to the stats most are moving in (4,000), birthrate is close to 1,000, death rate around 400, and close to none moved away.

So the number of students in your high schools seems logical? About the same as elementary? Less than colleges? And way less than universities?

not all eligible students choose to continue education, but decide to go to work. has to do with distance to school, vs distance to work, along with what jobs are needed filled. have high demand for low educated jobs, the teenagers go to work, and not school.

Want more students in the education chain, then you need jobs for them at their educated level to fill.

I don't talk about the numbers themselves, I talk about the releationship between the numbers, which this patch should have fixed. LOOK AT TEH RELATIONSHIP! There are way fewer going to high school than elem,entary. That could be explained with high school being voluntary, which it only is in substandard countries, so I guess it isn't here (the company is Finnish). But even if high school was voluntary, there are way, way, friggin way more students in colleges and universities. And that ought to get people to undertsand that there's something wrong. At least if they completed high school themselves.

if you dont notice something is broken with highschool numbers you havent played the game long enough.

Even elementary is voluntary; education in CS 2 is not free.

Your city doesn't exist in a vacuum. If it's quicker or cheaper for a Cim to go to school via an external connection rather than use the local school that's what they'll do. Similarly those 4000 Cims you have moving to your city aren't all coming from the caves in the mountains; most of them are probably already educated, and a fair chunk of them are likely moving to your town specifically for college or university.
Have you checked the age of your residents? You have a birth rate of 400 yet 3600 children in elementary education. If anything that would suggest a significant portion of the students in your education facilities aren't actually resident in your city.

Are anyone's cims even graduating? I've had 40k elementary school students forever now. The numbers in all higher learning slowly drop as people graduate. The elementary schools just continue to go up.

What's up with you? Is this some kind of "Defend CO for all it's worth, even though it's obviously they have made a blunder"? Your arguments are so beyond anything they aren't even worth checking out. When the friggin H would a cim get one of their parents to drive them to the nearest city outside the map, when there are schools with free space just a few blocks away?
