Suburbanites paid a tuition fee to send their kids to DPS high schools because the smaller suburban schools lacked the academic programs the larger DPS schools had. In most DPS high schools, you could take four years of Latin, German, Spanish, or French while in a lot of suburban high schools you would only be able to take two years of Latin and maybe two years of one or two of the others. Rochester High School was an antiquated dump with very inadequate facilities back in the day.
