From my own experience (now 20 years in the past; man, does that make me feel old!), going to a substandard high school did not interfere with my ability to get into a good college. I didn't feel prepared to tackle lab science at the college level, but that wasn't something I enjoyed or was good at at the substandard high school level, either.
