A Florida high school is segregating its students by grade point average during lunch — a move that has drawn a firestorm of criticism, according to reports.
Hudson HS in Pasco County launched the program, which is aimed to give to students more incentive to get better grades, at the start of the school year, FOX 13 News reported.
Under the program, students are classified as either “on track” or “off-track” to graduate based on their grades and attendance.
Students who are “on track” have a GPA higher than a 2.0, have no more than four absences in any class, have no F’s on their report card and must earn all credits each semester, students at school told the news outlet.
They’re also given a special red wristband that says “on track” and are granted privileges that allow them to have lunch outside the cafeteria in either the school’s common area or lounge, according to the report.

Oh my, this will devastate a whole generation of kids who are used to having everything handed to them. You mean by getting good grades you can get privileges? This is a twist because lately we reward kids for having a "good day".
They should have GPA schools.
GOOD IDEA! In the real world employees are rewarded. Get them ready for the REAL world.
that is a win lose situation.
Surely not in Baltimore.
The stupid kids (2.0 aint' NOTHING to brag about) don't like being identified as such.
Plus the school is desperately trying to find a way to keep the gangbangers away from the one they victimize and bully.
About time.
Keep cheering.
2.0 on track? Not in my world.
