Over a third of my class bailed on the 12th grade one way or another. A chunk went to summer school after the 11th grade so they would meet minimum requirements and graduated early. Another big chunk went 'joint enrollment' with the local junior college and took classes there, although they could still participate in high school activities if they wanted to and were carried on the rolls. A few of us bailed completely and just enrolled in a university out of town.
And that didn't count the ones at the other end of the scale who just dropped out.
Cut off all benefits to illegals, save more than enough.
“Imagine having 50-percent of the kids gone by the start of the 12th grade.”
But then who would the remainder mock, blame, bully or cheat off of ?
