What is New Trier?
There are several different types of New Trier students, often intersecting. 99% of New Trier students fall into at least one of these types.
1). Rich asshats with way too much money and way too little attention from their parents. Therefore, they try to grab attention by spending their ample supplies of money outlandishly, and/or on drugs.
2.) "College factory" geeks who spend Friday and Saturday nights studying so they can get into Princeton. What school you get into in New Trier is very important. New Trier requires extraordinary tests of academic devotion to reach the upper echelons, and can assign upwards of 5 hours of homework a night. These students are very competetive about college spots, and will overload on distinctions and extra-cirriculars. Some of these people have parents who only care about the prestige of where their student goes to college. Those in category 1, however, don't give a shit because they often have gyms and libraries named after them at certain schools already.
3.) Goths so outraged by the wretched New Trier culture and conformist system that they create their own wretched culture and conformist system that operates as a proud underclass in the school.
4.) People with causes such as Amnesty International, PETA, the Green Party and Greenpeace who like to talk a good game but really don't accomplish a damn to help anyone, and then drive their parents' SUV to buy shit at Walmart.
5.) Right-wing douchebags who think the fact that they have money makes them exceptionally special in the world. Will wear suits at every possible occaision, and fancy shit on all others. Most have never met a poor person or a black person.
1.) Paris Hilton. Lots of people like that in NT. Tons of cash, DUIs, fashionable shit, entitlement, heirs to large fortunes.
2.) Girl RW, who made copies of her exam study guide which was far more thorough than the one the teacher gave, or who cried when she flunked a minor English assignment Freshman year. Goes to Yale. Or Guy AO, who claimed to be valedictorian by comparing his GPA with others (NT does not do class rank). Guy AO's parents worked at Harvard, and he proclaimed that he "didn't need to write a good essay to het in there." He was rejected in his early application, but still had the option to apply regularly, leaving him to proclaim, "now I don't want to go to Harvard." Goes to Stanford.
3.) Like most Goths.
4.) Limosine liberals. Like some actors. Only like being liberal because it makes them feel good, not because they like to help others.
5.) Steve Forbes. Just think of the stupidest, most ignorant asshole you know and then think dumber and more insensitive. A long line of famous these have come from New Trier, including Donald Rumsfeld and Charlton Heston.

New Trier - what is it?
New Trier is the highest-profile school north of Chicago, a refuge for the children of rich people of Chicago's North Side. 99% of the students are white or Asian, and it is widely known across the county as the richest, most extravagant school district, where students all drive their Range Rovers and BMW's to school. This is partly true. Only 2/3 of the students do. The other third does not have a driver's license.
Despite their high test scores and reputation of being one of the "smartest" schools in the country, many are unaware of the suffering of those less fortunate. Growing up in a sheltered environment, they simply assume everyone has rich parents to help out the homeless of Detroit, the starving of Nigeria, and the dying of Gaza.
Their parents vote Democrat, but students show a clear disdain for paying more taxes than the underprivileged. Many are known to bring amounts even up to $50 for lunch. They're the kind of people that carry $1,500 in their wallets, encounter a homeless man on the streets, and tell him to get a job.
Despite all this, their egos remain high and care remains low. Money runs high and so does ignorance.
All are ACTUAL QUOTES from New Trier students.
New Trier Kid: "Dad, am I still getting a Ferrari for my 16th birthday?"
New Trier Kid: "Isn't Mexico's government enslaving their people?", "What's Gaza?"
New Trier Kid: "Why should I pay $25,000 in taxes if I make $250,000, while someone earning $30,000 would only pay $3,000? That is SO unfair. If I pay $25,000, so should he!"
New Trier Kid: "Evanston is like New Trier, except a lot less money and a lot more black people."
What does "New Trier" mean?
A high school located in Winnetka, IL (a northern berb of Chicago). The best way to describe it is a school consisting of 5,000 over-achievers. Home to a great music and preforming arts program, great sports teams, and over 100 clubs, every student is involved in something. The average ACT score is a 25 (compared to the national average of 18). there are a lot of kids that have been admitted to Ivy league schools and most of the senior class finds that they end up at U of I. Don't hate, its just how it is...
Average New Trier conversation: "Dude I'm in 5 AP classes and head of the debate team, what you got?"
"I am student body president and going to MIT, what up?"
New Trier - what does it mean?
New Trier is a public high school in the Chicago suburbs. Students at New Trier typically come from Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, Kenilworth, and Northfield.
90% of students at New Trier are Caucasian, but the school is still quite diverse. In fact, 9% are Asian, and there are even 6-8 Black or Latino students. It is unusual to spot a student not wearing khakis and Vineyard Vines at all possible occasions.
The sports teams are quite successful, because there are few other schools that can afford a water polo, archery, or even fencing team, so there is really no competition. The sports that aren't made for the top 1%, such as basketball and football, actually have cuts and only the best make them. However, New Trier's basketball team is historically bad because many players have no experience against black athletes, as there are only 6-8 at New Trier. New Trier students love to use their Range Rovers and BMWs to blast 2012 Drake songs and act hood.
The final aspect that makes New Trier so great is the immense drug culture. It would be tough for a student to name 10 kids who do not carry around a Juul with them at all times. The locker room usually looks like a forest fire. Weed is dealt by the "plugs" - AKA those Kenilworth kids who gets a $500 weekly allowance. Luckily for the athletes, there is not regular drug testing, because then there would be no teams left except for water polo, archery, and fencing.
Typical New Trier conversation:
Gunther: Hey Dustin, how's your level 4 physics class going?
Dustin: Pretty terrible actually, just got an A- first semester grade.
Gunther: You want to hit up the plug to get your mind off it?
Dustin: No, I'm good, I just got some mango Juul pods anyway.
New Trier - meaning
New Trier is a high school in the north suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. Really, it is not that bad. Many people stereotype is as a place where everybody is stuck up, rich, and spoiled. But, the truth is that its only the minority that are like that.
Sure, New Trier is a high school who excels at almost everything. But, its such a big high school that it is packed with groups of kids that are awesome at one specific thing.
New Trier also doesn't follow the traditional cap and gown for graduation. They have to do it big. The graduate at Ryan Stadium, the Northwestern Football stadium, and girls wear white dresses and guys were tuxes.
Overall, New Trier is known nation wide, has won grammys for its music program, and a great place for those who strive to succeed in life.
Girl 1: Do you go to New Trier?
Girl 2: No, I AM NOT STUCK UP!
Girl 1: But, New Trier students aren't stuck up, they're normal people.

New Trier - slang
Ok so basically out of all these definitions there are PIECES and i mean PIECES as in parts of the definition that's correct. Yeah, the kids at New Trier typically reside from well-off families, but the dirt rich, burning money just for fun mentality is wrong. People do come from families that hold a certain amount of wealth but it should not be conceived that EVERYONE has SO much endless money. The idea that ALL the kids drive BMWs and hit up Daddys ATM whenever they do so please is not the complete norm for all the kids. A fair portion come from middle class/upper-middle class families, and one should not stereotype the whole entire student body as ridiculously rich. However, on the other hand one should not go as far to say that New Trier flat out sucks at life, since the school is well respected. But if you read all these definitions they were probably written by who else than NEW TRIER KIDS...umm bias much? Yeah, of course they're going to inflate the image and make it sound like some type of fairy land and those who are "less fortunate" should feel honored that these great NT people are taking time out of their busy rich filled day to write a review ON THEIR OWN SCHOOL. See my point? In all honesty, it is not all cracked up as it seems to be, this idea of a complete wealthy no-worry land is semi false and should not be viewed as anything more special as a rich community. On the other hand, what is wealth to you? If you live in say, North Chicago and see poverty day to day and enter into New Trier then yes, these definitions are probably pretty accurate. However, if you live in a well off community from say the New England area, and walk into New Trier you will say it is nothing special and maybe even a little poser-ish since New England pioneered the "prep" idea (and we all know NT is filled with colorful polos are vineyard bags). I say I should be a fairly reliable source given the fact i attended New Trier High School and who else knows the school better than a former student? No one.
North Chi kid: "New Trier? Damn got more money than God"
Exeter prep student :"New Trier? The school in the North Shore? Yeah it's nice, nothing too special though."
New Trier
Where more than half of the students smoke pot, sell pot, or grow pot.
Where the grades are high, but the kids are higher.
"What school do you go to?"
"New Trier ahahahahahaa"
"Are you high?"
"hahahahahaa"
New Trier
New Trier is a high school located in Winnetka, Illinois. It has over 4,000 students and is exceedingly wealthy. It cannot be denied that almost all the students are very rich, but the definitions describing the Louis Vuitton dayplanners, etc., are pretty extreme. There probably is someone at New Trier with a Louis Vuitton dayplanner, but that's one person. In essence, almost everyone is rich, but most don't go so far as to use designer dayplanners.
New Trier kids usually get very good test scores, and the usual 3-level class would be pretty accelerated in most other places. The Science Olympiad team has won state for the past six years. Sometimes the real intelligence of students at the school is questioned.
There was an article in Time magazine in the '90s called "High Times At New Trier High." This accurately sums up the drug usage at New Trier. Many students at New Trier are users. Many also drink.
The sports teams are usually quite good, and therefore hard to make. This is discouraging for some, but there are alternatives, like Night League (a basketball organization of New Trier kids that plays on Wednesday nights). Also, this excellence at sports cause other schools to have a hatred for New Trier. However, this is not without cause; some students at the school display a cocky, egotistical attitude.
New Trier student : Go Trevs!
Student from other school : I hate New Trier.
New Trier
Where the grades are high and the kids are higher.
Dude: I saw u got an A+ on that level 4 math test.
Bro: I am so freakin baked!!!!
Dude: Typical New Trier.
