they did. I went to such a school (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hb_woodlawn). It was a public 'magnet' or 'charter before the concept of charter' school.

My class was 70 students. Although being in Arlington meant "solidly middle class", among some notables (modestly achieved, not super-famous) from my graduating class (1999) include: Stephen Ridley, who is CEO of xipiter, the company making USB condoms which have been featured here. Fabian Bouthillette, former assistant to Gore Vidal and author of "Gore Vidal's last stand" (http://www.amazon.com/Gore-Vidals-Last-Stand-Initiation-eboo...), Adam Berninger founder of a advertisement and design firm, and Naomi Uyama, world champion swing dancer and band-leader.

Steven and Naomi got to where they were without finishing (or in Naomi's case ever going to) college, which is funny since H-B always was proud of its college matriculation rate.

5 entrepreneurs out of 70 isn't that bad, I think! (I'm 90% of the way to being "modestly achieved")
