At my school, there are basically four social levels, which I call A, B, C, and D. A seems to be the largest level, with each after that being smaller. A is the most popular kids: athletic kids who wear the most expensive, trendy clothing and tend to ignore anyone who isn't their friend. If you hear them talking to each other, the girls are usually discussing their looks, while the guys are discussing sports. B is the semi-popular kids. C is the "average" kids. D is the nerds and so-called losers.
There are a few extraneous groups also. There's the special ed kids, there's the "freaks" (goth, punk, etc.), and there's the ghetto kids who are bused in from the inner city.
And there are some "cliques." We have the football guys. We have the track kids. We have the crew kids. We have the artsy, indie kids. We have the *BLEEP*es. We have the geeky anime/gamer girls. We have the trashy sluts. We have the girls who do musicals. We have the several girls who are complete outcasts except for each other. We have the nerdy Asians who play instruments.
I wouldn't say my school is "stereotypical," though, because except for a few select *BLEEP*s (who are close to the top of the social ladder), there isn't a whole lot of in-your-face meanness that goes on.
