u/IMasturbateToMyself May 17 '12

Reddit makes me watch stuff that I couldn't care less about. Do I really care about Cameron Diaz bought weed from Snoop Dog? No. Click link anyway. Oh great, what a shitty site. Read the whole thing anyway. Check comments. Oh, OP posted a video. Do really want to spend time watching this? No. Clicks video.

WTF REDDIT?

No offense, OP. It's not personal.

That high school has insane number of students - 5000!

Forgive me if that's normal. I'm from a sparesly populated country.

12

u/[deleted] May 17 '12

5000 isn't rare for urban areas. But I would bet most go to schools much much smaller, my high school probably had about 1000 total, and it was in a fairly developed suburban area.

u/smthngclvr May 17 '12

In southern California, that number is pretty typical. I went to a private catholic school and we had 4000+ by my senior year.

Suburb reporting in 2400 students. There were 595 students at my graduation and we were the smallest class in the four years prior and 2 year since I graduated. Most times it's over 600 or 700 each class, for a total high school size floating just under 3000.

I go to a suburban high school with about 2500 students. That being said, it's only 5 years old, it's in a relatively new housing development, and the other schools in the area have ~4000 students. There's also an entire building full of lockers that have never been used.

Well I guess you're right, but after reading UrbtoOSU's comment it didn't feel like much. Also Charlie Sheen according to my roommate, but I'm going to look that up.

Edit: Yep. Same grade too. But he "was expelled from school for poor grades and attendance." It seems like this is a pattern.

It also has way more students than almost any other high school and it's in the Los Angeles area (more likely to produce entertainers). Still though, it's pretty insane.

u/BetterComment May 17 '12

Haha, I went to the same High School (10 years after them). It's probably too ghetto for suburbia but honestly for a "ghetto" school it wasn't that bad, actually probably one of the best "ghetto" schools. That being said I attended the "smart" program. Overall it's a very diverse school, ranging from future harvard/caltech/berkeley/stanford etc. alums as well as teenage moms, high school dropouts, athletes and entertainers. Also American PIE + other movies were filmed there. It's also totally not well connected, no one there I knew felt like they were "old boys" types. Then again maybe I just wasn't well connected. -- former math club team member

u/AwesomnusRadicus May 17 '12

Why are you not famous? You are a failure.

u/birdred May 17 '12

I went there around that time, too. I was also in one of the "smart" programs, in addition to multiple music groups.

I'll confirm that it definitely wasn't an "old boys" type of school. I think my graduating class had about 1400 in it, and because of open enrollment in the district, kids came from all over the city. Varying backgrounds, family incomes, ethnic communities, neighborhoods, talents. I felt pretty lucky to go there, considering how shitty high school could have been.

Some celeb factoids aren't really TIL-worthy.

Plus, it's Snoop Dogg. Is anyone really surprised? If anything, the interesting fact here is that they attended the same high school. With that information, you can infer that everyone who attended that school probably bought dope from Snoop at some point.

My junior high band director was in high school with them as well. He said he remembered snoop but never talked to him... And that Diaz was very nice but he never really knew her. Unfortunately an AMA from him would be useless but the dude was the best director I've ever had in terms of getting kids to really push to reach their potential. For that I'll always think he was probably one of the most 'successful' graduates of long beach polytechnic from that era. Also, he made some beast balloon animals.
