Midwood High School 

booty bitch The Wood junction gang initiation target collegiate
The congested and generic urban public school located in Brooklyn, NY where students are able to walk down the elite houses of Bedford avenue and onto the industrial, risky yet entertaining slums of The Junction. It is where the student must sign in a marble notebook set up by an unkind Haitian woman in order to piss in the flooded soap less paper towel-less bathroom. Where the hall passes are the size of your torso and bold and yellow. Where you find your usual bitches and beasts. Where the much prided new science annex has malfunctioning heat and the shiny bathrooms are exclusive only to the The Phantom of The Wood. Where you either become bulldozed or the bulldozer while inching your way through the overly populated and intimate currents of students during hallway passing. Therefore, swipe that ID card…and welcome to Midwood.

Midwood High School 

The most popular choice for students whom got rejected from their preferred specialized high schools (stuy, btech, SIT).

You hear good things about this school but it's really mid, as implied by its name: MID-wood. Incomparable to specialized high schools: no freshman AP classes, ghetto neighborhood, multiple 911 emergencies, underwhelming sports teams, lack of extracurriculars and funding, overcrowded...

PS. The bathrooms are dreadfully disgusting, and is a popular spot for sussy bakas trying to get a quick smoke.
1: "Did you get into B-Tech?"
2: "Nope, Midwood High School."
1: "Damn, that's sad. Good luck during your 4 years in the ghetto!"
