Top 100 High Schools in the US - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Czas na Zywiec · 06-08-2005, 05:34 PM

I found this list on another message board that I go to and I thought it'd be interesting to see if anyones school was listed. Neither of my high schools made the list. (Though I'm really not suprised)

I know I'll probably like it. One of my brothers went there and he liked it. I'm just kind of scared because I only know 5 other people that are going, that's all

AllIWantIsYourClutch · 06-08-2005, 06:38 PM

Yeah my school would never be on that list. We're on the academic warning list instead.

I don't know how it is where you, or others, are from, but here, there is ONE Elementary school, ONE Middle school, and one high school. Except for dropouts, failings, and the ultra-rare promotion, you are with the SAME people from Kindergarten to 12th Grade, without fail.

Knowing most of the people where I live, I would have been THRILLED to go to a school where I only know five people (That's why - after the first month of transition [see: The Complaint Department] - I've gotten to LOVE college, and I'm not even a party person)

Number 9 Dream · 06-08-2005, 07:17 PM

Miller Place is the school right next to my old high school...we're rivals!!

Brian · 06-08-2005, 08:03 PM

I live close to Torrey Pines. I didn't go there (wasn't even in my old school district), I went to a private school.

*MIBabe03* · 06-08-2005, 08:34 PM

The high school that I went to was not on there. Back before I graduated in '03, I believe it was on the list.

dawsongirl · 06-08-2005, 08:39 PM

*flips list the bird* They damn near completely missed the entire Midwest. The closest to me is that school in KC, KS.

Living In a '70's Dream · 06-08-2005, 08:58 PM

I was kicked out of Torrey Pines in my sophmore year of High School

but my sister and my brother graduated from there...

JDS84 · 06-08-2005, 09:30 PM

My high-school wasn't listed either.
