    I've been saying this for years.

    Once they start raising rates to normal levels, shit will start tanking. This goes back all the way to TARP/Bush when they started making investments foolproof by lowering rates to nothing.

    Perhaps your post needs to return to studying mushrooms. It has a shitty outlook.

    There were a lot of people giving him all the credit when the economy was doing well after he took office.

    Not me. I think the deep state will crash the economy and blame trump for it.

    I figured that if my attitude gets shitty enough, you will vote for me and follow me like a puppy in love.

    Do the students drop out at age 65, or do they keep going in hopes they finally graduate?

    I see 5-6% under Bush's last year, 6-10-5% over 8 years under Obama, 5-3% under Trump's first 18 months and going down.

    Yes, a HUGE difference.

    Guess that shows that you don't know how to read a graph.

    SAD!

    Better than average graduation rate.

    The class of 2017 for the Bend-La Pine Schools just made history.
    Last year, the student graduation rate for Bend-La Pine Schools marked an all-time high for the percentage of students graduating on time, says a report released today by the Oregon Department of Education. The combined rate for district students earning a diploma on time improved by more than 10 percentage points in the last six years alone—up from 68.2 percent in 2011 to 78.7 percent for the 2016-2017 school year.

    “Our staff’s relentless efforts to know each individual by their name, strength and need allows our teaching and learning teams to personalize student engagement in ways that ensure students are involved in their education and on track for graduation,” said BLPS Deputy Superintendent Jay Mathisen. “We are fortunate to have many of Oregon’s best educators and support staff on our team, making these successes a reality for students.”

    The Bend-La Pine Schools student graduation rate continues to outpace the state graduation average. Across the state, Oregon students' on-time graduation rate was 76.7 percent.

    Barely better than average, and that's Bend-La Pine. What's La Pine's graduation rate?

    I wouldn't say massive, but my graduating class was larger than La Pines enrollment is now.

    Inflation be damned. Besides, have we ever had a problem with inflation before. No, dammit!

    3%??? When has it ever been 3% under Trump? It went from high 4% to high 3%. A huge <sarcasm> 1 point drop. Obama took over an economy that was spiraling out of control and took it from 10% to below 5%. A miniscule 5 point drop.

    I went to the smallest high school in Portland and we had 1.300 students. Grant at that time had 4,000 students. 550 seems pretty rural to me.
