A (?) high exam pass rate

Dear Friends,

I wonder if I need the indefinite article in the following:

This language school attracts people with the promise of a high exam pass rate.?

Thank you.

Hi, I wonder if I need the indefinite article in the following: This language school attracts people with the promise of a high exam pass rate. Yes, say 'a' if you want to say that. Personally, I find it a rather awkward phrase.
