Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl.
Boy tries to get the girl back by making it look like the state’s graduation rate is higher than it really is. Girl calls out boy for touting the obviously inflated graduation rate. Boy regains the trust of the girl by “revising” the graduation rate, which is substantially lower than the first rate, and declaring that he will do everything in his power to curb the “dropout crisis.” The New York Times profiles their relationship.
They live happily ever after in public school fantasy land.
