Someone has to be lying about the drop out rates:
Two Chicano activist alumni claim it has been unchanged at this school at almost 50% for forty years, yet this statement claims 7%
Both Moreno Valley and Lincoln have five star ratings according to this source, and solicited commentary posted about both schools is glowing. Something stinks.
