Paris Hilton is known as many things. "Scholar" isn't one of them. Still, while nobody would confuse the heiress with a rocket scientist or brain surgeon, she did manage to graduate high school -- in a way. According to several sources, Hilton attended The Dwight School in New York City, but didn't stick around long enough to wear a cap and gown. However, Ms. Hilton later earned her general equivalency diploma (GED) after some homeschooling. Passing the test certifies the taker has academic skills on par with a typical high-school graduate. Connect the dots and you'll realize that, according to our educational system, Paris possesses the intelligence of an average American high-school graduate. Whether that's merely terrifying or a sign of the coming apocalypse, we leave to you. But maybe we're being too hard on the starlet. After all, by nearly anyone's definition, Paris is a successful person. Granted, she's currently in jail and has been publicly humiliated more times than we can count, but she's a genius at marketing herself and continually places among Yahoo!'s most popular searches. Maybe she ought to teach a course.
