hackley from the outside world: a private school where rich sn-bs go to school and get free lunch with their über expensive tuition. hackley students think their school is great and that they are way better than everybody else. they are considered to have over-rated test scores and sports teams. all kids there live in enormous mansions that one could get lost in, and all families have at least one mercedes, one bmw, and one porsche. they all hold sn-b parties where they make out and which are ridiculed for how amazingly not bad–ss they are.

hackley from the inside: by far the best k-12 school, public or private. they have sports teams with great records and they are undefeatable. they all have remarkable test scores. they all hold expensive and fabulous parties at which half the people there make out with each other, making them bad–ss.

a private school with students who are believed to be smart becuase they go to a private school. the truth is it is not actually that difficult to get into hackley, and many of the students are not actually that smart. many hackley students believe that everyone wants to go to their school. this is not true. almost everyone who does not go to hackley thinks that hackley students are annoying sn-bs. hackley boasts of great testing scores, but in reality, they dont make the top 10 schools in the east coast. while there are some nice hackley students who are modest people, there are also hakcley students who are lazy and annoying. unfortunatly for hackley, it is the annoying students who are the most well known to the outside world. hackley students live in their own little bubble, and when they go off to college, they get a shock when they see what the outside world is really like as their bubble teaches them nothing about what real people are like or gives them any real life experience in general. their sporting teams and testing scores are average in reality, but becuase they are a private school it makes them look better than they are. hackley has just as many students who don’t continue on to college as any other nearby school.
