A For-Profit organization that is not listed on Wikipedia that sends out an invitation to people with "academic achievments" asking for
$45.00 - $60.00 as an admission fee. It does not impress on any applications nor does it mean anything.
Just another pointless organization that butters you up with a flattering invitation to con you out of your money.
Better off joining the National Honor Society (NHS) FOR FREE.

J. Percy Page High School is a high school located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The "J" has been presumed to stand for jail. The teaching staff mostly consists of (but not limited to) racists, communists, and pricks. Two of the most common occurrences include being cut in front of at the line in the cafeteria by kids much cooler than you, and/or holding open a double-door for some chick who will just end up using the other door, ignoring you, because she's just way too hot for your courteous gestures. The majority of the students at this school are morons who can't stop talking about weed, partying, and shitty Import cars.
Attending J. Percy Page High School was the absolute worst decision I had ever made in my entire life. Most of my time was spent coupled with kids in remedial classes because the teachers there had failed to realize that I did not belong there, but that I was just lazy. I would spend my days sitting at the back of the room, all by myself, completely alone, listening to people talk about shit that made me want to stick my entire fucking body in an industrial meatgrinder. My bouts of happiness would come from excusing myself to use the washroom, just so I could rub one out, or, roaming the halls in between classes trying to make meaningful eye contact with some other lost soul who could feel my pain, and swallow my gargantuan load. Oh, and just incase you were wondering, I never did find that person. With the exception of the always awesome Mr. Mitchell (best teacher in the Known Universe nominee for sure) who was always kind to a skinny, brown and overly tall weirdo such as myself, everyone who has, is or will step foot in this place is a complete asswipe. Even after having left this place two years ago, I still feel an urgency to let the Universe know my story. Whether you read this five months from now, five years from now, or even five hundred years from now, whatever you do, do NOT go to J. Percy Page High School.

long beach high school can most likely be considered a joke. it is home to over 1000 different pot heads. the girls are pretty easy and go for guys who are way to old for them, whores. your considered cool if you play lacrosse since were amazing laxers or can make it onto the best varsity swim team on long island. the summers here consist of getting high/drunk, going to the beach, hookingup with people and chillin. oh and the teachers are a joke. we all gotta love guarav.

In Chateauguay, the town where white people think they're black and black people think they live in the ghetto, the ONE english high school contains bisexual emos that drink every friday, get high every sunday and have sex every tuesday at 8 pm. The only reason they go to school is for cigarettes and pot. They hang outside the school but never atcually go in. Security guards range from a stuck up bitch to a super cool, super chill native guy. I'd write something about the residing preppy bitches but they're the same everywhere.
Howard S Billings High School: Bisexual emo kid: What you doing friday?
Kid2: Drinking. You?
Kid 1: Same. What about Sunday?
Kid 2: Gettin' hiiiiigh.
Kid 1: Awesome. Doing anyone on Tuesday?
Kid 2: Helll yeahhhh.
Kid 1: Awh man, look at that preppy bitch.

A high school that consists of your every day jock, prep, skateboarder, emo, and loser. There are a TON of anime loving goth girls here they're actually quite scary. Seriously though, it's a very diverse school located in havre de grace. The building is extremely small, as is the overall student body population, yet somehow the halls are constantly crowded at class change. Speaking of teachers, most are very helpful and intelligent, but others are completely insane. The janitors are cool as shit and most of the teachers are also. Oh yeah, what the fuck is up with the gym being ACROSS the street of the main building. so stupid, except on nice days. Kids generally freeze to death in the winter and bake in the summer because any heating or AC system is constantly being "repaired." Overall a good school with painfully limited extra curriculars, yet fucking awesome people.
Havre de Grace High School Janitor: "TAKE YA TRAAAYS UP!"
Passerby: "Oh god, I think I'm near havre de grace high..."

Metro, commonly referred to as "hell" by the sophomore class, is a STEM school.
Metro was created on the idea that kids could go on an accelerated school life, and go straight to college. By doing two years of college, students can get a start into the world.
Metro constantly changes, leading to confusion. Seniors relax, knowing that they will never again have to deal with Metro's flux, while the freshman class dread the upcoming years.
Procrastinators are never punished, thus everyone at Metro procrastinates in some way. The only way for a procrastinator to become punished is if the teachers call the parents. Students who find themselves on the receiving end of this expect to hear lectures.
Grading is one thing that has not changed in the history of Metro. At Metro, one must meet what is called MASTERY, or a 90% or higher. Failing to receive this grade, even receiving 89%, results in the dreaded WIP.
Metro runs on an online system. Students submit work onto a site called Taskstream, which are then graded by teachers that are tech-savvy enough to use a Mac. If a student does not have access to a computer, the school will provide a used MacBook. If the student does not have Wi-Fi, the school simply shows the kid to a hotspot.
The other part of Metro's monitoring system is known as PowerSchool. This is a grade book where teachers can put grades, giving parents a way to monitor kids. However, teachers never update their grade book, usually leading to classes with no grade.

Powerschool Grade: 89% (WIP)
Parent: Powerschool says You're not meeting your potential. I sent you to Metro Early College High School so that you could meet your potential
Student: Ok. (Notices lack of grading in over two months.)
