Undoubtedly, there's a bit of an obsession involved, but some people here have hit the nail on the head; high school really isn't that challenging. If you have above average intelligence, don't skip and study for exams, it's not hard to pull off mid 90's, especially in the less subjective courses like math/science.

What about Pure Math courses? That S**t is hard and pretty much useless in real world application. Only a few kids did really well in Pure Math when I went to HS.
