Mean Girls : Do PUBLIC high schools like this exist like, anywhere?

Do PUBLIC high schools like this exist like, anywhere?

I can see private prep schools having such shallow absurd issues, but public ones?

I mean, unless I missed something, this was a public school.

Even if in a white bubbled (closed off to "outsiders") suburban town, the Regina crowd seemed way too rich to be deigning to go to a public school for starters.

Seemed about as real as the porn convention in Vegas in The Girl Next Door (but at least the director states clearly that is HIS dream porn convention, not a realistic one).

Or maybe I simply went to an inner city public school where we had more practical concerns (wearing the wrong gang appropriated colour in the wrong place, metal detectors, making a wrong turn on your way home, actually getting GOOD grades to hope to make it to college, etc).

Rich people go to public school but this I think this is mostly done so they have an excuse not to wear uniforms. Of course I view this as satire still.

Hey, I wish I have had such hotties (dressed up like that) in my school back in the day, no complaint, just saying it's a bit TOO much fantasy sometimes...

I went to a public High School in Mission Viejo CA, CVHS Class of 89. Public school system was outstanding so Private Schools were not necessary. This movie could have taken place there. There were so many hot girls who dressed to the nines every day, skirts and heels. They were from rich families and never had an interest in education since they knew they would marry into other families with lots of money.

It seemed reasonably accurate - within the limits of a movie comedy, anyway.

It varies across the country, but lots of suburban public schools are quite good and well-stocked with kids whose families are rich enough to send them to private schools.

My school was like this. We had a huge incident my junior year between the junior and senior girls. We all went to the auditorium and they threatened to keep us there all day. I'm still not sure exactly what happened but it was dubbed as a hate crime. The town I lived in had the rich kids and there was a huge drug problem in my school. It was ridiculous. What's pathetic is that most of them, 8 years later, still live in that same little town and they're still partying with the high schoolers.

"I don't care how long it takes. I will keep you here all night."

"We can't keep them past four."

"I will keep you here until four."
