The hallowed halls of East Rutledge High School serve as a pressure cooker for the characters as they face the dreaded SATs.

Appearance

East Rutledge High cuts an impressive figure, seemingly a step up from the gang's usual stomping grounds at Roseville High.

The school boasts a grand entrance, setting the stage for the academic trials to come.[1] The interior features the classic American high school aesthetic, complete with green lockers, tan cinderblock walls, and mint green floors. Plastic paneling adds a touch of institutional charm.[2]

Key events

  • Pre-Test Jitters: College Material opens with Lucy, Augustus, Jordan, and Daisy arriving at East Rutledge, each grappling with their own SAT anxieties. While Jordan exudes confidence, Augustus's nerves are palpable. Lucy, ever the supportive friend, offers a reassuring thumbs-up to boost his spirits before the big test.[3]
  • Awkward Encounters: The hallways of East Rutledge become a minefield of uncomfortable run-ins. Daisy has a particularly cringe-worthy exchange with Abbey, who mentions heading home with Mike and Stacy post-test, hinting at their shared SAT experience.[4]
  • Post-Test Reflections: As the SATs wrap up, Daisy and Abbey exit their testing room, comparing notes on the exam's difficulty. The tension is broken by Augustus's presence among the waiting group, prompting Abbey to make a hasty retreat while struggling to maintain his composure.[5]

Trivia & observations

  • East Rutledge High School represents one of the few instances where characters are shown interacting in an entirely new school environment outside of Roseville High.
  • Abbey mentions going home with Mike and Stacy after the test,[6] suggesting they were also assigned to this location, though they don't appear in any scenes at the school.
