...copy of birth certificate to enroll in school. In St. George, the juvenile justice system requires the exiles to get a GED, counseling and drug treatment. Smith, who had been forbidden from continuing at school in Hildale, is studying for his GED at night and while reading is difficult, math is no problem.

As economically disadvantaged brainiacs get older, 25% of them drop ranks in math in high school, and 41% don't finish college. "We're losing them at every stage in education," says Joshua Wyner, executive vice president of the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, which wrote the report with public-policy development firm Civic Enterprises...
