OP, what is your motivation for this post? Do you hope to recruit a certain type of student? Are you trying to break down a stereotype?

OP here, depends on the grade but 1984 is a big event for us. There are assigned roles and rules students have to follow to give the feel of the book.

OP here, a mainstream kid could definitely find friends but a significant amount of kids are “quirky”.

OP here, in middle school most people make friends unless they’re really annoying. In high school there’s maybe one kid without friends. The faculty is very friendly.

OP here, Burke’s pretty good. I looked a little at Field and public schools but my older brother went there so I decided to go there.

It depends on the grade but there are a lot of kids who like art. Burke’s not really a stoner school anymore. There are some athletes but I wouldn’t really call them jocks. A lot of gay kids.
