Mr. Escalante's school was in the barrio, and was a co-ed school. This school was hurting for financing. Additionally it had a poor faculty and administration. Poor in that they were not supportive of the students. The faculty issues were that the teachers were teaching classes that they were not suited for and this situation was probably due to lack of money. The school was trying to get accredited in order to get more money. There was vandalism and graffiti at the school. Students attending this school are largely poor academically and financially. This movie took place in the 1980's.
Mr. Keating's school was a New England preparatory school for boys. Whelton Prep School. This school seemed financially stable. There was a large body of water nearby for water sports activities like a rowing club. The school was on a large estate where there was a lot of space for activities such as outdoor fencing, running around, playing ball, and there was a forest with a cave in it. The school grounds were generally quiet. The school was clean and organized. Students at this school are largely well off, or at least not struggling financially. The students at this school wore uniforms and they resided at the school during the academic year. This school used capital punishment for offenses as one student got a board to his behind. This movie took place in the 1950's.
