For me it was 5th grade. I lived on base and it was very racially homogeneous with asian, blacks, whites and hispanics so it was a good way of keeping the schools bullshyt proof and the education was good due to the rich white officer parents. We were challenged, problem kids were rare and nearly all the races were academically capable and fitted in well. As corny as it sounds, we really didn't see color. Military parents don't play ANY BULLshyt so none of us were really struggling or acting up.
My parents divorced, I lived with my mom who was poor as shyt and I went to the local school near my trailer park. It was bad because nearly all of the children were bad including both white and black children. I was that light skinned Drake looking and acting nikka before there was Drake so I caught hell but luckily I fell in with some dorky white kids into pokemon and video games and we "cliqued" up. Eventually we all became friends after we realized how fukking racist the teacher was and she ended up telling us that we were never going to amount to anything and we were all absolutely pathetic. She was this fat whyte bych with glasses in her 40s-50s and she was surprised when she found out I got into a hard to get into classical middle school.
There were about 25% decent children but there were kids having sex, one girl even got pregnant and only showed up for the end of the year exam. She was mexican and a 12 year old in the 5th grade but she looked at least 16, was relatively tall and had B cup breast.

Probably half of the kids there came from my trailer park and luckily I found my best friend in my class who I chopped it up with and we would play N64 and gameboy all the time.(This was when PS2 was the newest) His dad was the manager at Dominos and I thought it was the coolest shyt ever because he got so much free pizza and we my family would get free pizzas too.
Luckily after that I was able to attend a classical middle school and high school that was public(free) and college prep which saved my ass but then the bad kids I noticed were all wannabe thugs and the dudes were on some gossip girl "he say, she say" bullshyt. IT was funny too because so many kids thought there were tough as shyt and would act up but they came from middle class, two parent families so it bugged the shyt out of me as to why they were bad as shyt.
The bad kids pretty much got kicked out of the classical school and by high school, they were fewer but still there and eventually the bad kids dropped out or transferred so I never had to deal with it much. A handful of girls got pregnant but it was several(2-6ish) out of 400 kids on a bad year so it wasn't that huge of a deal. We didn't have any bad kids. Probably half of my graduating class went into the Army or ended up marrying some Army cat so I guess its whatever. A handful of us went to college and the other 25% just got a job straight outta school. Most of us are in the army, in college or just kinda doing whatever. Ain't really none of us are "about that life" so I guess we all turned out well. I'm about to graduate college so I guess I'm good.
