Students need mastery based learning in high school because anyone that has been in a mastery based program has become accustomed to it. The only mastery based program for high school is at Hillcrest and not everyone that would like to go to that program can go to Hillcrest due to transportation issues and other problems. If there were to be a similar program in the high schools, more people could learn ahead and stay ahead. This will also make it so that students that need extra help can catch up with their learning.
