I'd like to see the 4-year/2-year going rate broken down by race and socio-economic status, but that's my kneejerk, researcher reaction.
I bet those numbers are findable. There are so many drill-down deets and breakdowns on public schools these days. At least in SF and the Bay Area where you have to research and choose your school.
My high school had similar dropout and college numbers, but we were at least 85% white, and most of the rest Asian.
95% is amazing. My high school achieved close to 100% by encouraging people not going to university to switch schools at 16. Cheating, but effective. *Everyone* intended to go to university. It was like a higher education mill. Obviously I have nothing against higher education, but anyone who wanted professional training instead of a degree was strongly looked down upon.
Side business: Oxbridge. They were fucking obsessed. I fought against a lot of things in high school, and won everything
except
avoiding an Oxbridge application. They just wore me down and broke me. I dropped social studies and French and Christian assembly, but I couldn't get out of applying to Oxford. I'm still kinda mad.

This is precisely the website of the Persian restaurant bon likes to order from near my house. Why, restaurants, why?

How come WW is shorter than the other members of the JLA? She's supposed to be taller than Bats and Superman. At least in the Diniverse. I like my amazons Amazonian.
Oh, ita. I've been researching websites of other freelancers, some who claim to be very successful, and my eyes! my ears!
Shitty flash, tiny script, no white space, MUSIC.
I know a good-looking site (I'm still frothing over my theme's update that fucked my site all to hell, and destroyed a good month of work) doesn't guarantee an adept writer, but my god! If you have a website, make it at least inoffensive.
She's supposed to be taller than Bats and Superman.
I'm pretty sure she's not taller than Superman in regular DC continuity, and Bats is a tossup. I'd place her at 6', and Supes at 6'2.
Oooh, apparently we're good at science bowl:
Albany participates in many local competitions, including NAQT, NOSB's Otter Bowl (which they won in 2006 and took fourth nationwide), and the National Science Bowl, in which they also took fourth place nationwide. Albany High won its 2008 Science Bowl regional competition, defeating academic rival Mission San Jose High School. Traditionally, both schools went to different regional competitions, but in 2008, due to a desire to participate in both the Otter Bowl and Science Bowl, whose regionals coincided, Albany was forced to attend MSJ's regional competition for Science Bowl. In 2009, their NOSB team did not fare as well. However they fared much better in National Science Bowl, placing 5th nationwide.

I know she's definitely modeled to be taller in the animated verse.
