As someone who went to a very small high school, whenever I watched schools on TV as a teen I was like, "Why is this school like three blocks wide? Why are people not allowed to leave property to eat lunch? Are cheerleaders really a thing?!" Everything seemed so made up/stupidly ridiculous.

We could not leave school property to eat lunch until our senior year. And a couple years after I graduated, they stopped letting kids do that at all.

It's just not a *thing* in a lot of schools, especially if most kids ride the bus and there isn't anywhere in walking distance to eat or hang out (like a park).

Senior is grade 12?

Yeah I remember watching Buffy sneak off school property and there was gates and I was like ????

Because 95% of our school was bussed in because we lived in a small town so the HS serviced all the other tinier towns around it, but you never had to stay on school property during lunch or free periods. Luckily I lived right across the street so I'd go home for lunch.

Yup, senior is grade 12.
It was considered too much of a risk, liability-wise (kids are in the care/under the protection of the school during school hours, and if they wander off and something happens....)
Plus, too many kids would just not come back.

Most of the kids in my HS were rural kids, lived way out and were bussed in, and so had no transportation and there was just...nowhere to go.

For a while, the Roach Coach came around (a food truck), but they stopped that, too.
