Documentary series following life at a high school in South Carolina, USA. A new principal arrives on a mission to improve the school.

New principal Dr Peters arrives on a mission to improve grades and discipline, but a mass brawl and the threat of further violence gives him a swift reality check. Meanwhile, high-achieving pupil Jalena begins college applications, but with college fees costing more than a house, will she even be able to afford to go?
