In the first place, the Delphi student routinely graduates a year ahead of his public school contemporary, while averaging a full two semesters ahead in academic skills, as measured by standardized aptitude tests. Point of fact: The Delphi student regularly scores in the top seven percentile on Scholastic Aptitude Tests, while Delphi kindergartners compare to second graders and Delphi tenth graders compare to high-school graduates on the California Achievement Test. Or more simply, the Delphi student, regardless of age, tests 25 percent higher than all national norms. In the second place, he is well read. Required lists for high-school seniors include dialogues of Plato,
The Canterbury Tales, Macbeth, Les Misérables, Far from the Madding Crowd and T.S. Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral, to name but a few of the hundred or so sophomore titles consumed each semester by sixteen-year-old Delphi students. And make no mistake, the Delphi student comprehends those works right down to every brilliant turn of phrase. In the third place, and although difficult to measure statistically, the Delphi student is a genuinely enthusiastic learner. He is alive to the possibilities of his education and thoroughly intrigued with his studies – which, in no small way, contributes to what can be measured, and what very few schools can now boast: the Delphi campus is entirely drug-free and violence-free. Finally, and perhaps most important of all, the Delphi student uses what he has learned; he applies it and builds upon it – all underscored by his post-graduation success, whether in a university or on the job.

And yet there is ultimately something else one must bear in mind when considering the Delphi student: he is not actually found only on the Delphi campus. Remembering what makes for his success, the same caliber of student may be found at California’s Ability Plus School, at Florida’s A To Be School and a dozen more institutions exclusively devoted to teaching with LRH learning tools.

It is within a very different academic setting, however, that LRH learning tools have proven most miraculous. Specifically, we are now referring to the Los Angeles inner city of Compton with the nation’s third lowest educational level, a 40 percent dropout rate, and where just under half those of high-school age are functionally illiterate.
