A school that primarily focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Usually involves K-12 education, and tends to be a charter school or other form of school not within the public school district. They may be known as "STEM academies."
While some STEM schools may teach only a specific age group of children, many go from Kindergarten to 8th grade, or even Kindergarten to 12th. While the age levels are separated, a student enrolled in the school is guaranteed a spot in the school all the way to the oldest grade available, bypassing the need to re-apply or be stuck in the waiting list during the transition from elementary to middle, and/or middle to high school.
These schools generally have stricter policies regarding behavior than other schools, but may not be as strict as private schools. Students generally wear uniforms involving polo shirts and navy or khaki pants.

Alayna graduated from a K-12 STEM school. She remembered the school colored polo shirts with a mix of nostalgia and relief that she could wear whatever she wanted in college. One thing she knew for certain, however, is that her goofy 11th grade Chemistry teacher inspired her to study Chemistry in college, which was just as difficult as she expected. Nonetheless, she was putting as much effort as she possibly could, and didn't appear to be failing anytime soon.

One of the most nerdiest schools ever. Sure, most of us are antisocial but we are very friendly. Get to know us and we are really funny and love to talk about computer coding cause why not?

A middle school where the smart people are supposed to go. But all the kids just find ways of slacking off and every kid kisses each other's ass. They are dumb sad but compared to everyone else they are good.

A high school in Washington full of spazzes who can't compete in school sport and think they are too smart for "normal" public school. Think band kids, but its the entire school and no one gets shoved into a locker for it. Instead of normal prom, they have lame ass school dances because everyone is too busy jerking it to yugioh to form a real relationship. They think they are prepared for the real world but most likely will be going to the exact same college as everyone else.
"Oh you go to normal high school? I go to STEM High School, it's a lot harder probably."
"It probably isn't and you just don't have a social life and couldn't lift 10lbs to save your life."

A school where they think they're the shit while the rest of the world thinks they're total geeks and nerds.
Susan: I go to STEM high school, and I'm really smart.
George: Cool, I actually have a social life and I'm not a total science and math nerd.

A group of ugly ass short white boys who think they hard. Its impossible to not find a bunch of 8th graders stroking each others cocks. The 6th graders are short as shit and are constantly talking about Fortnite and anime titties. The 7th graders are just ugly as shit and most of us are suicidal cuz the lack of entertainment. They place the lunch table next to all of the classrooms and when we even whisper Osama bin laden comes in and goes hulk mode.
you: Bro do you know where I can do drugs with lil kids????
me: yes of course just go to stem middle school
me: yes of course just go to stem middle school
