When I was growing up, in WV, we had very near 100% because, back
then, they realized one mold doesn't fit all, so my high school was...

1/3 academic... college-bound

1/3 business... secretaries, clerks, small store management, etc.

1/3 trade school... machine shops, automotive and aircraft, etc.
