Elyria
A city in Ohio in the Cleveland area.

Elyria is urban and depressed for the most part and can be broken down into 4 areas. The Northside, Southside, Eastside and Westside. The Northside and Eastside are a mix of urban and suburban but nice and mostly white. The Westside has some bad areas and some good areas. The Southside is poor, ghetto and is not safe at all. South elyria is very urban and has a very high crime rate with regular shootings and open air drug markets, 90% of the people who live down there are drug dealing thugs. Similar to the city of Lorain.

Person 1: "Did you hear they're building a new high school in Elyria?"
Person 2: "Yeah and it's about damn time because that school was from the 1800's and it was broken down when my great grandma went there"
Person 1: "It's too bad they're keeping it on the southside though, no rich white kids will go south of 4th street"

Elyria High
A high school in elyria, Ohio that is considered to be very ghetto with many ethnicities. Currently being re-built since it was the most ancient school in all of ohio. It is more of a prison now with nothing on the walls because it will void the paint warranty, and rent-a-cops everywhere. You might as well wear an orange jail suit to it, and they should just put barbed wire fences around it. Things it boasts at are sports, excellent music program, and academics.

"Hey John, want to go to Elyria High?"
"No way! I might not get out alive!"

Elyria Catholic
Elyria Catholic is located in Elyria, Ohio. Elyria Catholic is the high school for which most students come from other Junior highs such as St. Jude's, St. Mary's, sometimes even Open Door's. This is a high school where majority of the student's are smart asses and potheads. They usually have good grades, but there are also the few that fall behind and start to fail due to hating the damn fucked up rules and teachers there. Elyria Catholic is full of preppy bitches, and athlete's, and people trying to get into mini ivy-leagues such as Dennison College, Dartmouth College, etc. The school has more pot going around in it then Elyria High School, it's complete bullshit. There's a little bit of baby mama drama, and the school sucks. Everybody that goes there knows it, and does not like the school. WOO.

John: Let's go in the bathroom.
Karl: Why? You got some pot?
John: You know it!
Karl: Aiight, I could use a loosen up 'cause I just found out that Dennison didn't except me because I failed my AP chemistry at Elyria Catholic in my 2nd year here.
John: Awe, that sucks man. I got into Dartmouth!
Karl: Lucky ass bastard.

The red-brick Lincoln Building was built in the 1950s on the former site of Lincoln School which was completed in 1924.

Currently Ghetto, But being rebuilt. Corresponding with the definition of the city Elyria. Elyria High is full of baby momma Drama and drugs.

Due to Elyria High School's age and extremely poor condition, an issue known as Issue 7, passed on May 8, 2007, after three previous attempts. Issue 7 is a $45 million dollar tax levy to pay for the new school. It will cost less than $9 a month for a $100,000 home owner. The state of Ohio will pay the remaining $23 million of the $68 million dollar total cost.

Elyria High School
Once a decaying high school built when dinosaurs roamed the earth, Elyria High has been demolished and rebuilt as the most painfully boring High School in northeast Ohio. Jail-like and unimaginably cold, the school has new restrictions and regulations that make the local prison seem like an all-inclusive resort.

The school is also notable for the amount of self-proclaimed 'squads,' 'crews,' and 'gangs.' These groups are comprised mostly of skinny white kids who will talk shit without having the fortitude to back it up. None of them are to be taken seriously.

Man I walked into the new Elyria High School today and they sent me out because I had a dime sized hole in the knee of my pants.
