Will, would you say that Beverly Hills High School is a rather unique high school?  I would!  In fact, somebody actually did write a book about Beverly Hills High School students in the 1980s, but of course that is outdated now!  How many other high school have had so many movies and TV shows based on it (or it's fiction twin, West Beverly?)  Can you think of ANY high school in the united stated. public or private, that has been featured in as many TV shows, movies, etc. as Beverly Hills high school?  Also, it really doesn' take a lot to realize that a lot of people at Beverly are wealthy.  Joel Stein was simply reporting an event hat actually happened!  If you think Beverly is just like every other high school in the middle of Kansas. they you are wrong!
