Well, at least this school is brutally honest:
Every YES Prep student, unless exempt from such requirements by the student’s ARD (Admission Review Dismissal) committee,must take and pass at least one Advanced Placement or dual-credit course for high school credit in order to be eligible to receive his/her high school diploma. …
College Acceptance Requirement
A student must be accepted to at least one four-year college or university in order to be eligible for a YES Prep high school diploma.
This school just goes ahead and announces openly that its diploma is worthless unless followed up with a college degree. This is not the school’s fault. It simply responds to reality and should be commended for doing so with a greater honesty than the President of this country managed to muster when he promised high-schoolers white collar jobs by the thousand.
