How nerdy is your school?

My school is beyond nerdy. It's a public school, except 70% of the school is asian. Asian girls galore.

Of course, since the school is so heavily asian...

You're expected to maintain a 4.0 at minimum. Anything less is failing.

Most people take 3-4 APs during junior year. 1-2 APs is slacking.

Sophmore year: At least 1 honors, for me 2 honors and 1 AP

We brag about how late we studied the night before.

89.9% is death in the worst possibly way.

Of course, I just counted, and about 10% of our class of 2009 went to UC Berkley. So I guess it balances out.

"nerdiness" at my school is looked down upon. It seems the only popular people are the idiots and pricks

Well I've been out of highschool for a while now, but if there's one way I could describe

the school it would be this. If you don't want a broken nose make sure you don't step

on anyone's sneaks. And "nerdiness" wasn't really looked up to highly either.

I went to a public high school in Wester Australia. There were the typical stupid cliques of - nerds, sporty people, loners, kids who thought that they were too cool for school, bullies, extroverts with everyone etc. In regards to nerdiness, there was one clique that pretty much upheld the trait of being smart. Other groups were largely quite stupid, or average at best. Even though the bullies/idiots may think that the nerds sucked etc back then, it's funny how the nerds/geeks and cool people that were also smart are going to be the leaders of tomorrow and entering professions such as law, medicine, dentistry, engineering etc :lol: I for one will be entering medical school in 2010 or 2011.

Where are the bullies mainly now? Working crappy low-end jobs and aiming for mediocrity in society. Yes... who sucks now? ;)

In addition to my earlier post, even though there was one prominent group that had high self-esteem with good grades etc, the other "cliques" would have this quiet admiration and astonishment at how the smarter kids performed. This was most evident at my graduation ceremony at the end of 2004, when the winners of subject honours were called out to the stage, with the principal saying what the winners wanted to do after high school, and the top universities they wanted to attend... and everyone clapped. I noticed that the bully types all sat there with envy :D

That is pretty much my school about 50% asian, 20% Indian/middle-eastern, then everyything else in the remaining 30 percent. It's a pretty nerdy school, one of the top schools in Houston, but a lot of the kids here aren't actually here for the education. Some just apply to this school because they/their parents are afraid of the other 3 high schools in our district.

I was a festive blend.HybridPhoenix

I study on the 6th floor of a huge University, the second biggest of my State. The floor where I study is for Math, Statistics and Computer Science majors, people from Engineering and physics also take some classes there since most math related subjects are there. Do I really need to say how nerdy that floor is?

You would be amazed by the amount of good looking girls though. :o

My school is very nerdy.

Not the smart-kind of nerdy, though. More like...nerdy-nerdy. :o

My high school had about a fair share of all the typical school stereotypes.

Now sure if I can classify it as nerdy or not, but you NEED to study HARD at my school to survive and even if you do, your GPA will be dismal (all course averages are C's - this is an unofficial policy of the school). I'm sure there are people who still time manage well and have a life outside of school though. I go to the University of Toronto. From Wikipedia:

In the Academic Ranking of World Universities of 2008, the University of Toronto is placed at 24th in the world; by academic subject, it ranks 21st in engineering and computer science, 27th in medicine, 34th in natural science and mathematics, 48th in life and agricultural sciences, and 51–76th in social science. The Times Higher Education ranking of 2008 places Toronto at 41st in the world, 9th in natural sciences, 10th in technology, 11th in arts and humanities, 13th in life sciences and biomedicine, and 16th in social sciences. Toronto is one of five universities in the ranking that places within the top 16 in every subject category. In the Newsweek global university ranking of 2006, Toronto ranked 18th in the world, 9th among public universities and 5th among universities outside the United States.

Its not really nerdy.

But I guess we are lucky enough that the most popular people actually get really good grades and are still attractive.

Mine is all over the place. 50% of the kids seem to get C's to A's then 25% get straight freaking A's and flip **** if they even get close to a B, and then the other 25% are like me... A bunch of kids who get D's to B's.

My school is not very nerdy at all its like 75% mexican 5% black 10% white and 5% asian Where I hang out we laugh at nerds I have like 4 fsand m probably gonna get held back but my school is also in the ghetto

Well at my school its not nerdy at all.

Preps/Jocks - some are stereotypical while most are quite awesome

Hardcore/Straightedge/Scene/Anything Similar - pretty cool... most of the videogame players... myself included :P scene chicks are hawt xD

Rednecks - Everyone makes fun of them

Wanksta Gangstaz - lol they fight a lot and we all watch

nerds - not really any stereotypical ones... maybe a few preps who are uber smart.

Weird Kids/Loners - A few but not many.

My school's a grammar school, so yes it is rather nerdy.

There are nerds in my school (sends about 10-20 kids every year to ivies out of a graduating class of 1100) but for the most part I'd say the kids there are pretty bad. My school was featured on MTV's high school stories and we're known more of as an athletic powerhouse. Our latest pop-up in the local media was pretty bad though...we had a teacher fired for having a sexual relationship with a student. Not quite the type of exposure any school wants
