Trivia
- Miss Stryke is said to teach Basic Geography after her Physical Education term.
- Due to the fact there hasn't been any news of Neoschool in a long time, there has been debates if it will ever be released. This idea is strengthened in the video game Neopets: The Darkest Faerie, where the word "Neoschool" appeared on a grave tomb, perhaps signifing the idea of Neoschool is officially dead.
