Mostly at the beginning of the school year. We had a little under 2,500 students but about 40% would drop out by November/December.

Why? What kind of school did you go to? And every year was like that?

I also went to a school with a very large drop out rate. it didn't help when guidance counselors would encourage it. my guidance counselor suggested it despite the fact I had all A's and B's but was failing one class (just that grading period)

I later learned they ranked pretty high in the state on test scores and it helped if they weeded out anyone who would lower those statistics for them.

edit: on topic though i've been to a few high schools. and one lets just say we had so many people that by law they had to allow students to eat outside because it would take more than 4 lunch periods to spread it thin enough to allow everyone in the cafeteria without going over maximum occupancy by fire code.
