Has senioritis kicked in yet?

52%  Yes                                                  48%  No



We know that most seniors say they have not skipped school. About half of our seniors study while watching television. Over half don’t spend time doing homework after 10 PM. Most don’t even spend more than an hour with homework, but about three quarters of the senior class have fallen asleep while doing homework.  Almost every senior said that others got on their nerves, and most have a favorite teacher. Last but not least, about half say they have senioritis (a supposed affliction of students in their final year of high school, characterized by a decline in motivation and performance).
