It’s true, folks–Berkeley kids are quite the studious bunch. According to the California Dropout Research Project (no, we didn’t make up the name) of UC Santa Barbara, our city’s schools boasted the best ratios of dropouts to graduates in a study of 17 cities in the state.

The worst ratio, on the other hand, hails from Stockton; its 2006-07 class will apparently cost the rest of us $476 million over the decades to come, as it was comprised of a greater number of dropouts than graduates.

What can we say? Berkeley’s clearly a breeding ground for academic drive … or maybe just nerd-dom. Must be something in the water.
