As a high school drop out, let me share my perspective.
90% of schooling is bollocks. Assemblies, the 'electives', English class*... It's all a joke. I did much better once I got to a school where there was none of that bullshit, only stuff you chose to do. But I had developed very bad habits over the previous 4 years and wasn't at all a mature person, so I still ended up dropping out. I only got my shit together once I got to study exactly what I wanted, and found a passion for a subject. Since then I've got myself into uni (took me 4-5 years longer than it should have), and am currently in 3rd year of Uni.
*We studied Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith in year 11 English (second last year here), and this wasn't the numpty class, this was the 2nd highest class out of 5 classes.
Edit: In Australia
