Most schools in my area didn't even have freshman at their campus... They all went to junior high with the 8th and 7th graders., which is much more suitable for their maturity level.

9th graders had no business being around 16, 17, and 18 yr olds. They were just too young.

If a 9th grader ever did show up at a high school party, he was either with a big sister/brother or a total douche nobody wanted there anyway and they wouldn't even really know anybody.

It's almost like high school kids showing up to a college party. It's jusr didn't happen.

Ha. We were on the high school campus at 12. Some of us were 11 for the first few months.

Mitch's sister was there.

Most of the crew we see are Juniors, not Seniors, who would be seeing Mitch and Sabrina the next year anyway. Is there any doubt that Mitch and Pink will both be on the varsity baseball team in this universe? It's also the last day of school, effectively making Mitch and Sabrina sophomores.

And I don't know about everyone else's school, but a few freshman girls were always picked to be included in the party scene.

It actually goes out of the way to break the Hollywood tropes of focusing on the younger kids as a group (Pink and company don't give a shite about the other freshmen and they aren't included in shenanigans), of pairing up the "lead" boy and girl (Mitch and Sabrina both end up with other, older partners and have only the bare minimum of interaction with each other), and of sitting in judgment on age gap relationships (only the audience is asked to moralize Tony hanging out with Sabrina, the movie doesn't comment).
