Most of the kids at my school are lower-middle class. A bit of drug use a couple years ago but now we get our bags searched at random so it has pretty much stopped (in school at least.) The school is about 45% Hmong/Other Asian, 40% Blacks, 13% whites, and 2% other. There are a lot of "Gangstas" but there hasn't been any gang violence for a while. Maybe since there's 3-5 police officers in the school usually, and they really like the pepper-spray. Semi-frequent fights, maybe 1-3 a month. The teachers that I have are pretty decent but some aren't so great. Now that I think about it, my school is better off this year than it was the last couple of years. About 20% of the students are complete idiots, 65% being pretty average, and about 15% are pretty smart. All this and it's still in the top 10% of high schools in America (iirc) from some list (which I can't remember.)
