I think it also depends on the person & program. I did alot better in Uni than HS, because HS was 3 years of laughs and I started to give a shart in University. I also remember hearing about 3 of the 10 chancellor scholarship recipients (supposed to be the top 10 students starting UNI based on HS) losing their scholarship after 1st year because they couldnt maintain the 3.5 GPA doing hard core sciences. But we also lost alot of people after 1st year because they just couldnt hack it.
HS will spoon feed you the whole way, whereas in a 400+ students university class you're on your own, both in terms of teaching yourself but also in determining what's actually relevant. It's also harder to distinguish yourself at the top when you are no longer compared to the HS stoners/dumb jocks/future criminals/ESL's...etc
