My parents moved to York County when I graduated high school which left my brother to enter the Clover school system in the 7th grade. He is a decent student but he still writes essays and papers on the 6th grade level . . . the grade he finished in the Wren school system. Everyone wants to make a big deal out of the York County school system and how great it is. WRONG! The only reason people make such a big deal out of that school system is because it is a rich (money wise) county. It has a nuclear station that brings in a boatload of tax money, Springs Corporation (the textile company), one of the Duke Power headquarters, and the fact the county is right on the border of Charlotte, NC (which isn't a big deal either). Money doesn't always equal a wonderful school system . . . granted money doesn't necessarily hurt, it just brings in more moron teachers to the school system.

Watch out! That's the high school I went to.
I'm curious, though, for such a bad school, how come we have students going to Harvard? I think Clover has great schools. The story I heard about the money in high school was that Duke Power gives Clover money, and that the legislators were going to try to do away with that because it's not fair to the poor schools in the state.
