Dang, South Carolina.

My state is in the lower half, thank goodness.

Utah is 0 out of 100 ohmy.gif But I guess there isn't much to do in Utah besides go to school....

Skewed results. My school district isn't even on there and I can guarantee that it's one of the biggest districts in Texas.

I could be wrong, because they don't make it very clear, but I think they only show the worst performing schools from each state. Of the 16 or 17 high schools in my county, the 4 listed are known for being pretty poor. And the two in the county I'm now are both on there, and I know they both really suck.
