<p>I rememeber when I was in 8th grade and I never wanted to go to C high school because of the chances of getting shot. How ironic, I end up going to that school. (long story, didn't want to wake up early for my dad to drive 20minutes to another school). I live really close to C high school, and the neighborhood is really bad. Parents around this area don't really use their voice to improve the neighborhood.
Other high schools around my city view my school and the kids as:
"not academically oriented"
"small portion of the student body are part of a gang"
"dumb, likely to not graduate"
"suck at sports"
"school looks like a jail"
My view of the majority of the students at my high school is similar to what others view it. We do have a reputation for not having the highest test scores and a sucky sport program, but I just hate how other students judge me to be dumb just because I attend C high school. If you ask me "Do you like your school?" I will say, "Eh, its alright. I feel as if the small portion of our student body that are academically motivated and well rounded, suffers from goof balls that make up most of our student body."</p>
<p>Homosexual, rich, and christian.</p>
<p>Asian, rich, and geeks. Oh, and the school's new too, so that doesn't help.</p>
<p>Asian (transitioning to mainly Indian), Upper-Middle Class, Nerds</p>

<p>Bingo! I would add Caucasian too. All male catholic school right?</p>
<p>Rich (but not for the area), wangstas (whether black or white), and we, too, suffer from "school looks like a jail."</p>
<p>pothead school (it's true)</p>
<p>kinda like op, but not as harsh i suppose.</p>
<p>Most people who live in Caucasian, metropolitan areas consider their community "rich." Believe me, I've moved around, and most people think their area is so unique in that the people are rich, snobby and not exposed to the real world. The fact is that 90% of these people grow up in these predominantly white areas, go to college, and then move back to Caucasian suburbs. There is no "real world" for them.</p>
<p>everybody is rich, rich, rich.</p>
<p>@jamesford: Haha, indeed. I actually included "white" at first but then decided against it because most of the student body is, in fact, white, so it wouldn't carry the same weight, so to speak, as the other ones.</p>
