Gender
During middle school the dress code was more strict on the girls and we even had to miss class and sit in the office till the end of the day if our shorts were not arm length. Boys at my middle school were allowed to wear what ever they want even if we weren't allowed to wear hats, it was okay for them because they played a sport. -
Race
My high school was diverse in some ways but most the Torrance community referred as South high as the "White school". I had friends that would commute to my high school from not so nice areas. At lunchtime groups were split up mostly by race for example, the white/asians would eat outside and the African Americans/Latinos ate inside the cafeteria. -
Economics
At my high school a lot of the sports team money came from alumni and wealthy families. Most our resources were properly funded at my school like books, computer lab, library, lockers, etc. -
Employment
Most Kids at my high school did not have to work because they came from wealthy families.But I had friends who did babysitting or part time jobs if they didn't play sports at local restraunts. -
Health/Welfare
Some friends of mine at the local private school Bishop Montgomery were on financial aid when you would not have even though their families had financial problems.
