New Trier 

New Trier is a high school in the north suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. Really, it is not that bad. Many people stereotype is as a place where everybody is stuck up, rich, and spoiled. But, the truth is that its only the minority that are like that.

Sure, New Trier is a high school who excels at almost everything. But, its such a big high school that it is packed with groups of kids that are awesome at one specific thing.

New Trier also doesn't follow the traditional cap and gown for graduation. They have to do it big. The graduate at Ryan Stadium, the Northwestern Football stadium, and girls wear white dresses and guys were tuxes.

Overall, New Trier is known nation wide, has won grammys for its music program, and a great place for those who strive to succeed in life.

New Trier 

New Trier is a public high school in the Chicago suburbs. Students at New Trier typically come from Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, Kenilworth, and Northfield.

90% of students at New Trier are Caucasian, but the school is still quite diverse. In fact, 9% are Asian, and there are even 6-8 Black or Latino students. It is unusual to spot a student not wearing khakis and Vineyard Vines at all possible occasions.

The sports teams are quite successful, because there are few other schools that can afford a water polo, archery, or even fencing team, so there is really no competition. The sports that aren't made for the top 1%, such as basketball and football, actually have cuts and only the best make them. However, New Trier's basketball team is historically bad because many players have no experience against black athletes, as there are only 6-8 at New Trier. New Trier students love to use their Range Rovers and BMWs to blast 2012 Drake songs and act hood.

The final aspect that makes New Trier so great is the immense drug culture. It would be tough for a student to name 10 kids who do not carry around a Juul with them at all times. The locker room usually looks like a forest fire. Weed is dealt by the "plugs" - AKA those Kenilworth kids who gets a $500 weekly allowance. Luckily for the athletes, there is not regular drug testing, because then there would be no teams left except for water polo, archery, and fencing.
Typical New Trier conversation:

Gunther: Hey Dustin, how's your level 4 physics class going?

Dustin: Pretty terrible actually, just got an A- first semester grade.

Gunther: You want to hit up the plug to get your mind off it?

Dustin: No, I'm good, I just got some mango Juul pods anyway.

To skillfully market a mediocre product.

To be adept at handling (media and) other peoples expectations in a way that maker you appear better than you really are.
"Hey, I got an A+ on my essay!”

“What, but it was crap and full of errors?”

Yeah but I von trierd it to the teacher by saying that it was a post-modern deconstruction of essay writing.”

new trier 

New Trier is a high school located in Winnetka, Illinois. It has over 4,000 students and is exceedingly wealthy. It cannot be denied that almost all the students are very rich, but the definitions describing the Louis Vuitton dayplanners, etc., are pretty extreme. There probably is someone at New Trier with a Louis Vuitton dayplanner, but that's one person. In essence, almost everyone is rich, but most don't go so far as to use designer dayplanners.

New Trier kids usually get very good test scores, and the usual 3-level class would be pretty accelerated in most other places. The Science Olympiad team has won state for the past six years. Sometimes the real intelligence of students at the school is questioned.

There was an article in Time magazine in the '90s called "High Times At New Trier High." This accurately sums up the drug usage at New Trier. Many students at New Trier are users. Many also drink.

The sports teams are usually quite good, and therefore hard to make. This is discouraging for some, but there are alternatives, like Night League (a basketball organization of New Trier kids that plays on Wednesday nights). Also, this excellence at sports cause other schools to have a hatred for New Trier. However, this is not without cause; some students at the school display a cocky, egotistical attitude.
New Trier student : Go Trevs!
Student from other school : I hate New Trier.

New Trier 

A high school located in Winnetka, IL (a northern berb of Chicago). The best way to describe it is a school consisting of 5,000 over-achievers. Home to a great music and preforming arts program, great sports teams, and over 100 clubs, every student is involved in something. The average ACT score is a 25 (compared to the national average of 18). there are a lot of kids that have been admitted to Ivy league schools and most of the senior class finds that they end up at U of I. Don't hate, its just how it is...
Average New Trier conversation: "Dude I'm in 5 AP classes and head of the debate team, what you got?"

"I am student body president and going to MIT, what up?"

New Trier 

New Trier is the highest-profile school north of Chicago, a refuge for the children of rich people of Chicago's North Side. 99% of the students are white or Asian, and it is widely known across the county as the richest, most extravagant school district, where students all drive their Range Rovers and BMW's to school. This is partly true. Only 2/3 of the students do. The other third does not have a driver's license.

Despite their high test scores and reputation of being one of the "smartest" schools in the country, many are unaware of the suffering of those less fortunate. Growing up in a sheltered environment, they simply assume everyone has rich parents to help out the homeless of Detroit, the starving of Nigeria, and the dying of Gaza.

Their parents vote Democrat, but students show a clear disdain for paying more taxes than the underprivileged. Many are known to bring amounts even up to $50 for lunch. They're the kind of people that carry $1,500 in their wallets, encounter a homeless man on the streets, and tell him to get a job.

Despite all this, their egos remain high and care remains low. Money runs high and so does ignorance.
All are ACTUAL QUOTES from New Trier students.

New Trier Kid: "Dad, am I still getting a Ferrari for my 16th birthday?"

New Trier Kid: "Isn't Mexico's government enslaving their people?", "What's Gaza?"

New Trier Kid: "Why should I pay $25,000 in taxes if I make $250,000, while someone earning $30,000 would only pay $3,000? That is SO unfair. If I pay $25,000, so should he!"

New Trier Kid: "Evanston is like New Trier, except a lot less money and a lot more black people."
