So did James, Bobby & Audrey become high school drop outs?


James most definitely. Bobby and Audrey doubtful, though we did not see them attend school anymore, unlike in the first season (Donna and Mike were the ones we still saw going to class). Perhaps Ben Horne is a school board member and had enough pull to keep Bobby and his daughter out of class for a short time.

I think in the setting of the show, a small out of the way town, education isn't a big priority....any student who has real ambitions probably leaves asap. the people who stay most likely manage without graduating from college/uni or even high school.

I don't think it's ever really revealed. Like an above poster said we do see Donna and Mike back in school in season 2 and there's also an episode where Audrey and Bobby mention they should be in school... but of course aren't. I think it's just implied they skip a lot. And as for James it seems almost impossible he could have continued going to school with all the *beep* he gets up to. I'm guessing the writer didn't really give a *beep* at that point.

Look at that turtle go bro! 
