And if you got pregnant, they shipped you away to the continuation high school QUICK. But even with the lack of education, they would still only ship away about 4-5 girls a year out of a high school with 1,400 kids.

While only 4-5 girls a year were shipped away at your school, the school where they all went would have a disproportionate rate. (Getting back to the original article) So, this high school that they are focusing on actually went out and recruited these new moms to come to their school. Of course the rate is high.
