Actually it was upper middle class/rich. Had great grades, good kids, a wealth of programs, (art, sports, rotc, etc.), good teachers, good spirit.
But we had a two year of bad events. One kid blew his head off in the parking lot while everyone watched on their way to their cars, I included. Then not a week later there was a shooting during a fight afterschool hours but on their property. Then the next year (my junior) there was a rash of knifing incidents where a teacher inadvertantly got stabbed stopping a fight. Then grafitti all over everything and of course drugs. At that point we had security but that wasn't enough.
My senior year the clinic was turned into a police department. Had a 4 man police team known as liaisons with cars, a cell, the whole works. Of course it was more of a processing station at that point but I was curious to how that turned out after I graduated.
Ultimately it got bad fast and just their presence on the grounds was enough to stop any of that on campas as my senior year was smooth as could be. Like 2 fist fights the whole year..on campus.
