Scattergood Friends School

A quaker boarding school in west branch, lowa. "college prep, " manifested through over-scheduling students and assigning them copious amounts of homework, all while taking their phones at night and giving them a bedtime. Notorious for its student work program, which is a fantastic source of child labor that parents pay tuition for. Also notorious for its farm immersion program for the first month of the year, which includes even more child labor with some good-natured farm trivia sprinkled in. Led by an out-of-touch administration that gets away with being racist, transphobic, and homophobic, despite being a "progressive" school. Huge drug/alcohol problem - there's not a lot to do at a d-list boarding school in the middle of an lowan cornfield except develop a nicotine addiction from the jul you bribed some senior to buy you in lowa city. Students often transfer out at the end of the year (or even at semester), with few making it all four years. Only notable alumnus was a bolivian president that everyone in bolivia hated.

“why’s that get taken down?”
“because Scattergood Friends School doesn’t believe in freedom of speech”
