Certain urban places, such as Morvant and San Juan/Laventille in the St. George West school district are socio-spatially stigmatized and marginalized; however, a cursory examination of dropout data from the Ministry of Education reveals that the school district with the highest number of dropouts, and the highest number of female dropouts, after primary school is the south district of Victoria.
