High School High is a 1996 comedy film about an inner city high school in the Los Angeles, California area, starring Jon Lovitz, Tia Carrere, Mekhi Phifer, and Louise Fletcher. It is a spoof of movies concerning idealistic teachers being confronted with a class of cynical teenagers, disengaged by conventional schooling and loosely parodies Dangerous Minds, The Substitute, and the true story of Jaime Escalante as documented in the film Stand and Deliver.
Lexie Bigham died in a road accident shortly after completing this movie. Trey Parker turned down the chance to direct this movie even when he was a Hollywood unknown. The school in the movie is named Marion Barry High, a reference to the then Washington, D.C. mayor Marion Barry. In some countries, like Portugal, the translated title is a pun to the also translated title of Dangerous Minds. Adult actress Jeannie Pepper appears in the film as Mrs. McReynolds. She is credited as Joan Rudelstein.
