Except science is not static like religion, it changes with new discoveries and explanations. And, at high school level, basic science is tested and experiments are repeated. So at the very least, some people learn proper scientific thinking, while others just learn to repeat "facts". In contrast, everything that religion is, is just memorization of some old ideas, and treating personal anecdotes and made up stories like they are statistically significant data.
