Quiz: Can You Name the ’90s Movie From Its Fictional School?

Throughout the ‘90s, we spent time in a lot of fictitious schools in movies. Most of these schools had fake names of their own, even though the buildings themselves were often real places people went to school. Just how well do you remember the movies based on the name of the schools? We have a quiz that will test your knowledge.

How did you do? If you got 8/8, we’re impressed, and we’re betting that those were the schools you wanted to avoid completely for the most part...especially the ones that had serial killers and aliens trying to take over! Of course, there were some schools we all wanted to be a part of. Why not share this quiz with your friends and see how well they remember the fictional schools of the ‘90s?

The Most Popular Schools in Movies

There are some schools in movies that are always going to stand out more than others. This isn’t just about the ‘90s, either. There are schools from all decades that we either wanted to go to or we knew that we had to avoid at all costs.

The most popular school remains Hogwarts. Its full name is Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and those who have magical abilities are invited to attend during the year they turn 11, which marks the start of high school in the UK. Harry Potter doesn’t get his invitation until the day he turns 11, but that’s not because of a Hogwarts mistake. We can thank his aunt and uncle for that!

Another popular school from the movies that we all wanted to go to was Rydell High School. This one from Grease brought us Sandy and Danny, the Pink Ladies, the T-Birds, and so much more! With spirit rallies and school dances that brought plenty of drama, who didn’t want to even just sit on the bleachers and watch it all unfold?

Of course, there are some schools that everyone wanted to avoid, and Woodsboro High School was one of them. Located in the Scream universe, the entire town became a place of legend and horror thanks to serial killers roaming around. It all started in Woodsboro High itself, with Billy Loomis and Stu Macher killing multiple people before turning their attention to Sydney Prescott.

Another school to avoid? How about The Faculty's Herrington High School? While initially just a normal school with stereotypes around every corner, it very quickly became the site of an alien invasion, and it was up to a group of students to save the day. No thank you!
