I wasn't trying to say anything negative about smaller schools. I was just pointing out a fact, since evulish asked if any big schools had a big percentage of students attending college. I'm not trying to say "My school's better than yours." I was just answering a question. I have nothing against smaller schools or rural schools.

Quote:
and how much of that percentage is related to the fact that far more parents in those districts can actually AFFORD to send their children to college?
Heh... more truth to that than you could possibly imagine. I'd guarantee that's why Rochester has such a high percentage of students attending college. Though it does say something about the school, the real crucial factor is, sadly, money.
