It is a high school in Skokie,
IL. It is a semi-suburban high school in
Cook County, very close to
Chicago. It is a high school that is shared between Skokie, Lincolnwood, Niles, and Morton Grove. Niles North and Main East are the other
high schools within that area of the Chicagoland area, but that's a whole different story. Niles West does a good job at disciplining students because punk ass teenagers so close to
Chicago need plenty of discipline at that age. The faculty tries to show you what life is like after high school as an attempt to show the reality of the world. It is a great place once you finish your freshman year which is pure torture when you are under developed, smaller, and
don't know what the hell is going on. But for the latter 3 years of high school, it runs much more smoothly.
Ross: Hello? Didn't you read Lord of the Rings in high school?
Joey: No, I had sex in high school.
Ross: Well, all students at Niles West had to read Lord of the Rings. O wait, or is that Lord of the Flies?
