It's because instead of studying and learning in high school they're too busy
chasing girls/boys and taking drugs. Their minds are not at all on the academic
subject matter at all.
 
Education and lax moral principals do not go well
together...

You can't educate anyone if their mind is not fixed on the subject matter... And
the whole energy in the States (and almost everywhere else now) it to agitate
peoples minds to consume more, to have more sex, to take more drugs... You can't
expect very intelligent, well educated people to come out of the education system.
You can only get drug-addicted sex-crazed fools. Not much to build the future of
the country on...

"This knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of all
secrets. It is the purest knowledge, and because it gives direct
perception of the self by realization, it is the perfection of religion.
It is everlasting, and it is joyfully performed." (Bhagavad-gita 9.2)
