Clark Advanced Learning Center

The Clark Advanced Learning Center (otherwise known as "Clark") is a small charter school-- that hardly anyone has ever heard about-- in the Martin County School District. The school only enrolls up to 250 students at a time, ranging from 10th grade to 12th. At Clark, students have access to free laptops and a free college tuition at the neighboring IRSC Chastain campus, where students are able to dual-enroll and graduate with their AA.
The student body is mainly comprised of kids who either hated public high school, dropped out of IB/AP and decided to dual-enroll, or wanted a free laptop.
Clark is a school where secrets are non-existent because they spread like wildfire, the yearbook staff is terrifying, and break-ups cause civil war. If one can get past all of this, he or she will find that Clark is a fascinating small-town-like culture of its own, where students of all backgrounds, personalities, and future goals can (for the most part) get along and enjoy each others' presence as a cohesive unit.
Example 1
Person 1: "I'm enrolling at the Clark next year! Did you hear you get a free laptop?!?"
Person 2: "There's a school called Clark?"

Example 2
Student 1: "Some of the students and teachers at Clark Advanced Learning Center are extremely weird, but I wouldn't change it for anything."

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
