"A.I." Contestant's "At-Risk" Past

Posted Mar 5th 2008 2:25PM by TMZ Staff

Danny Noriega"American Idol" wannabe Danny Noriega has issues.

We found out Danny attended Sierra (Continuation) High School in Azusa, Calif., a school dedicated to "at-risk" kids.

The crowd at the school? According to Sierra High's website, students are "significantly behind in credits -- and at risk of not graduating -- who want a second chance to succeed and achieve a high school diploma."

Danny graduated last year, but school sources tell us he had a rough time, working through his "gothic" phase -- that's when Danny boy went on his Christmas video rampage. One source says Danny had "multiple issues" which landed him at the school.

106. OMGOSH! Seriously! Stop picking on Danny, he did nothing wrong. Do not belive this article . . . it's a whole rumor. Danny is amazing, and he did nothing wrong. Just stop. I hate how everyone judges people from their past . . . even if it's an UNTRUE past. Rawr. Just stop already.
