Which object is used to track a prospective student's high school?

The Educational Institution object is the correct choice for tracking a prospective student's high school in the Salesforce Education Cloud. This object is designed specifically to manage information about various educational entities, including high schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions. By associating a prospective student with an Educational Institution record, users can gain insights into the student's background, educational history, and affiliations, facilitating better tracking and management of their academic journey.

This object allows for the capture of details such as the name of the high school, its location, and other pertinent demographic and academic information. Accurate tracking of this information can provide valuable context when evaluating a student’s qualifications, progress, or needs as they transition into higher education or other educational opportunities.

The other options do not serve the purpose of tracking a prospective student's high school directly. The Student object focuses on individual student records and their unique identifiers, while the Course Offering object pertains specifically to the courses available for enrollment. The Affiliation object is more suited for recording the relationships between individuals and multiple educational institutions, rather than tracking a specific high school directly. Therefore, the Educational Institution object is essential for this purpose, providing a centralized view of the educational background of prospective students.
