I can't wait for the next alumni weekend.

What do you know? My own Barrow High School has been listed as one of seven "dropout factories" in Alaska. But we have a football team! Bethel Regional High School also made the list. The schools were listed in a Johns Hopkins study analyzing U.S. Department of Education data. A dropout factory doesn't contain limb-endangering machinery (well it might), but has a graduation rate under 60%. Ouch. If I didn't know better, I'd say some children were being, ahem, left behind.
