I've been in Catholic education all my life and the rate of teen pregnancies was higher in our school than in any other school in our county, although this might have something to do with the fact that the encatchment area was by and large the poorest demographic in the county, council estates and shiz.
The drug related offense rate, however, was the lowest. The rich kids' school beat us royally on that one.

The drugs thing is indeed interesting. I went to a private school that had no teen pregnancy issues but had 1 or 2 guys related to drug issues. A much posher private school about a town away was uttterly rife with drug problems. Speculation is/was that a lot of the kids' parents made their money from drugs, thus perpetuating an endless cycle.
