Decoding the passage:
The passage state that, "Suburban High has enrolled 40% of Southport's students and produced 75% of the towns high school graduates, while Lakeside High has accounted for the remainder." Therefore,
Lakeside High accounts the remaining 60% of students enrollment but has produced only 25% of the graduates.
Option A - Incorrect - passage does not provide any information
Option B - Incorrect - passage does not provide any information
Option C - Correct - We can infer this since, despite having a lower enrollment rate (40%), Suburban accounts for a higher graduation rate (75%).
Option D - Incorrect - passage does not provide any information
Option E - Incorrect - passage does not provide any information

In the option A doesn't the passage provide that 'Each year' the suburban enrolls 40% of the students and accounts for 75% of graduated students? And option A does state that the number of students attending these schools have remained roughly constant.
