Ok so basically out of all these definitions there are PIECES and i mean PIECES as in parts of the definition that's correct. Yeah, the kids at New Trier typically reside from well-off families, but the dirt rich, burning money just for fun mentality is wrong. People do come from families that hold a certain amount of wealth but it should not be conceived that EVERYONE has SO much endless money. The idea that ALL the kids drive BMWs and hit up Daddys ATM whenever they do so please is not the complete norm for all the kids. A fair portion come from middle class/upper-middle class families, and one should not stereotype the whole entire student body as ridiculously rich. However, on the other hand one should not go as far to say that New Trier flat out sucks at life, since the school is well respected. But if you read all these definitions they were probably written by who else than NEW TRIER KIDS...umm bias much? Yeah, of course they're going to inflate the image and make it sound like some type of fairy land and those who are "less fortunate" should feel honored that these great NT people are taking time out of their busy rich filled day to write a review ON THEIR OWN SCHOOL. See my point? In all honesty, it is not all cracked up as it seems to be, this idea of a complete wealthy no-worry land is semi false and should not be viewed as anything more special as a rich community. On the other hand, what is wealth to you? If you live in say, North Chicago and see poverty day to day and enter into New Trier then yes, these definitions are probably pretty accurate. However, if you live in a well off community from say the New England area, and walk into New Trier you will say it is nothing special and maybe even a little poser-ish since New England pioneered the "prep" idea (and we all know NT is filled with colorful polos are vineyard bags). I say I should be a fairly reliable source given the fact i attended New Trier High School and who else knows the school better than a former student? No one.
North Chi kid: "New Trier? Damn got more money than God"
Exeter prep student :"New Trier? The school in the North Shore? Yeah it's nice, nothing too special though."

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.

Girl 1: Do you go to New Trier?
Girl 2: No, I AM NOT STUCK UP!
Girl 1: But, New Trier students aren't stuck up, they're normal people.
Girl 2: No, I AM NOT STUCK UP!

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.

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.

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