At Frayser Middle/High School in Memphis, TN, they sure know how to get their boogie on. Recently released data shows that there are approximately 90 teen pregnancies out of a student population of 978. With 52% of the student population being female, this leads to a pregnancy rate of almost 20%. That's a lot of new babies that someone other than the biological mother and father are going to have to support.
"When we would come back from summer break there would be a thousand people pregnant." We were like, 'What's going on?'" joked Alicia Williamson, 2004 Frayser grad. Yeah that's a real joke Alicia.
What info do you suppose we can glean from this? It should come as no surprise that:
98% of the school population is not white
95% of the school population gets free lunch
5% of the school population is entitled to a reduced
lunch price
And in this lovely school district they spend $9,356 per student per year on their "education." You would think within that vast sum they could give each girl a box of condoms.

And a blast from the past. See if you can spot the difference in the student body back then.
