St. Charles Preparatory School 

An all-boys Roman Catholic preparatory high school in Columbus, Ohio. It's a hell hole where you are a slave to your grades and college preparation, working about 4 hours every night on homework after an 8 hour school day. Students frequently slap each others asses and nonchalantly talk about sucking each others dicks. Teachers are high quality but can make your life even more of a living hell if aggravated. If you want to throw away the remainder of your childhood but ensure yourself a place in the work place, Saint Charles is the school for you.

Cistercian Preparatory School 

A preparatory school based in Irving, that has systematically cultured depression, being antisocial, having anxiety, and gay habits. It is also known for having no racial diversity, as most of the population is composed of white baseball and football players. Although Cistercian markets itself to be a academically rigorous school, the students are actually just a bunch of boys whose main goal is to procrastinate. A well known motto known throughout the school is, “it’s not how smart you are, it’s how good you are at hiding your stupidity.”

However, the students are not to blame for this occurrence. If put in any other school they would blossom greatly. Many of them have great talent. However, when put under the rigorous and painful liberal arts education that is Cistercian, the students fold and are churned into cubicle-like workers.
Jimmy: “Why so down Timmy?”
Timmy: “Cistercian Preparatory School is killing me. We were born free but in here we are in chains.”

World Journalism Preparatory School 

A school that runs from grades 6-12.

A sad excuse for a school. Run by a stumpy, Jewish women who has no regard for what really happens inside the classroom. Mostly Greek teachers that boast their gold crosses and pronounce students name with emphases on the ''rrrrrr' or '' ssss''.

That aside, another flaw would include the nauseating e-portfolio system we are forced to use. There is no point and I hear now that report cards will no longer be in use.

Uniforms include vulgar khaki's and pasty white polos. They are un-flattering to even the most beautiful of all genders. Parents, this school teaches nothing...your kids education is at risk!
Man, she's an idiot...and look at her clothes!

Yeah, she goes to that World Journalism Preparatory School...
