<p>Why, on the common data sets for top 50 LACs, are there 0-4% of the enrolled students from the bottom half of their high school graduating class, whereas at Scripps 22% are from the bottom half (question C10)? </p>
<p>Granted, 40% or so report rank at Scripps, and a (really) high report % for an LAC would be 60%. Is it because there are more private school high school graduates (privates often don’t report rank) who’s parents can afford the full Scripps cost? </p>
<p>This is the only LAC I have seen with more than 4% from the bottom half, and I am mystified about the number. It is the same % on the previous year also, so it is not a typo.</p>
