Yes - NM is correct. We have high schools where the graduation rates are well below 50%, so there is a drive to raise the number of students continuing to college. Our particular high school has over 20% of graduates with GPA's above 4.0 and over 97% continuing on to college, so the students who choose to stay in-state usually have an easier time rising to the top of their classes.
