Everybody Hates Chris accurately depicted a lot of things about Chris Rock’s life, including his dropping out of high school and earning his GED (this was portrayed in the series finale). Like the fictional Chris, the real-life Chris endured beatings and bullying by white students at the school he was bussed to, but in reality Chris dropped out solely for this reason (as opposed to truancy as the episode depicts), and reportedly earned his GED a bit later in life.
