Very few that I know of. I suspect socioeconomic factors play a heavy role for most people globally in when they choose to instinctively start craving to reproduce.
For instance - lower socioeconomic household - more uncertainty if next meal will actually be available or stability will last - more stress and pressure to have kids earlier (and more of them in case a few get sickly or die without the resources to prevent that as easily) for best odds that a few of them make it through themselves to continue and reproduce themselves.
For wealthier higher socioeconomic households that have more resources and a lot more long term stability - I suspect we may see the opposite if we check the stats. Likely we will find kids from this cloth wait linger until they are more well off financially and stable themselves (as they can afford to based on their parents being in a position to support them longer with more certainty it will continue). We may also see wealthier folk (with some exceptions of preference or choice depending on what makes the individual happiest) have far fewer kids - maybe 1-2 kids tops most times. This makes sense as they can afford to put more of the resources (eggs) in one basket. If their 1-2 kids get sick they have the resources to cure them most times so don't need to have "back ups" as a contingency plan in this case as there are way lower odds of the 1-2 kids they have getting sickly or dying.

There could have been one or two, but I don't know of any, and I had a pretty big high school. Due to school overcrowding, 9th grade (freshman year) was still at Jr. High, so High School was only 3 years - 10th-12th. We had a little over 2500 students, and my graduating class was just short of 900 kids (891 if I remember right). And, yeah, I don't know of any girls who got pregnant in HS, but I know of several who got pregnant during the next couple of years after graduation.
This was a much bigger problem for our rival school one town over, though, as they had a significantly higher population of 2nd generation immigrants, and a very pro-family culture where it was common for girls to marry and get pregnant young. Not so much at my HS.
I know my sister had at least one girl who got pregnant in her class - she was 4 years behind me, so I didn't know them.

Man too freakin many. 7th-11th grade was pregnant people everywhere. There was a time i thought i was. Most of the pregnant girls self aborted through some weird shit like bleach and dishwashing soap mixed with who knows what. And somehow they are still alive and well. Others miscarried. But yea i would say at least 5 pregnant classmates yearly.
1 0 0 0Sone had the same baby daddy. But also, sex ed wasn't taught until you reached 9th grade. Sex and pregnancies started 7/8th
Our school didn't teach us until we were in 8th grade. My sister had to teach me when I was in 7th grade once she found out they didn't teach us yet (she was taught in 5th or 6th grade).
@PBandJ_Nerd my mom didn't try to teach us until we graduated high school and almost college. Way to late by then
There was quite a few at my school I always thought it was gross when 2 best friends would be pregnant together and think its cute... It's like you just threw your future away with guys who ain't even gonna stay with you... Never understood preghoe's in HS... Dumb as fuck... but what did I expect I want to a delinquent high school.

16 24None. Nobody got anybody pregnant in my school. My school and the classes I took were very academic oriented and rigorous. We did not have time for fooling around.
0 0 0 0There were a few older girls that were pregnant during my first year, but I never saw them after that. Other than that, getting pregnant didn't seem to be very common during my time at high school.
0 0 0 0I only know of one for sure. She got married and had a baby while still in high school. Her husband was in the same school. I only barely knew both of them.
Back then "bad girls" might have been hidden away. But even still, I never heard any rumors. If anyone came up missing, it wouldn't have meant anything because there were so many military families in the area who got transferred every couple of years. So students disappearing was normal where I lived.
Most of my time in HS was also before Roe v. Wade, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.
