Johnny Storm's high school graduation

This is a minor continuity issue that I've puzzled over. Peter Parker is depicted as graduating from high school in Asm 28, but Johnny Storm's high school graduation, at least as far as I know, has not been depicted anywhere. Both Peter and Johnny visited State U. in Ff 35; and Johnny notes in Ff 44 that he didn't enroll in college because "so much was happening", so presumably Johnny's graduation occurred some time between Ff 35-44. Since Spidey's appearance in FF@ 3 is listed as occurring after Asm 28, presumably Johnny also graduated from high school some time before FF@ 3, if Glenville ended at about the same time as Midtown High School. Since FF 41-43 is a fairly continuous storyline, that would suggest that Johnny's graduation occurred either between FF 40-41, or between FF 43 and Annual # 3. My guess is the latter, but I wonder if this has ever been clarified? I was hoping for an answer in Christos Gage's recent "Spider-Man and Fantastic Four" series; but, while that series did quite a nice job with continuity issues, it didn't quite answer that particular question.
And another minor point: in FF 50, Johnny attends Metro College, which, I think, is different from State U., where Reed and Peter went. Yet in Ff vs. X-Men # 4 flashback, Johnny claims he went to the same school that Reed went to. Was this just a mistake by Claremont?
