That is not disproportional?

In looking at US National Center for Education Statistics and Germany's Federal Office of Statistics, the disproportionality fades. School enrollment statistics of the two countries for secondary education and higher show that the United States has 7 times the number of students enrolled. Also, the secondary school dropout rate of the United States is 10%, the secondary school dropout rate of Germany is 5%.
With half the school dropout rate, it would seem that Germany maintains a better school system and a lesser percentage of students enrolled feel the need to extract vengence on their schools.
