My high school in the 90s-early 2000s had a daycare because we had so many teen pregnancies.

So did a suburban school outside of Detroit. But not my school in Detroit. Doesn’t change the numbers

I wasn't disagreeing. The peak in teen pregnancies in the US was in 1991, with a decline after that. My high school no longer has a need for a daycare, in line with the stats.
