65 or 490 female Students at a Canton High School are pregnant. Sex Ed must be working!

15% of the female students at Timken High School in Canton Ohio are pregnant. That means that almost 1 in 5 female students is expecting!

I wonder why education officials aren’t taking credit for the success of public school sex education programs? Clearly they are working! As for their pregnancy prevention programs…not so much.

Well it IS Canton after all :)

I wonder what the rates are at Mckinley and Glenoak?

[RockinRight]

I'd also be interested in Canton South High School's stats...as well as Massillon.

Need to correct headline: 65 OF

[RockinRight]

Actually, I'd really be interested in the stats for AKRON's high schools!!! Especially Central-Hower, Garfield, and Buchtel.

[MikefromOhio]

Yeah...

man...all those good football schools LOL

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

Having only ever played the Canton schools in High School, I couldn't even name the Akron schools :)

Ellet
East
Central-Hower
Buchtel
Kenmore

65/490 = 13.265%

Bad reporting skills and bad math skills.
65/490 = .13265 or 13.27% (not really 15%) So, how close is this to "almost 1 in 5"? Well divide 1 by .13265 and you get 7.53846. Therefore, you could honestly say "that means that more than 1 in 8 female students..." or "that means that nearly 1 in 7 female students..." but to say "almost 1 in 5 female students..." is downright dishonest.

..." but to say "almost 1 in 5 female students..." is downright dishonest.

That might have been too harsh. It might be just downright lazy rather than dishonest.

It may be even lower. But 20 sounds about the right place to put the over/under on that betting line.

Ummm, 15% is more like 1 in 6 than 1 in 5. I guess they don't know math either. They should know the percentage of 1 in 6 from doing random probability, and everyone knows that's how teen girls get pregnant: randomly.
