Dekitate High School (できたてハイスクール^?)^[3] is a Super Famicom video game that was released to an exclusively Japanese market in 1995.

Summary

The game involves going through a day of high school in Japan as a teacher while managing a star pupil to good grades and popularity.^[4] Players can even build their own high schools for the purpose of gameplay, making this game similar to SimCity.^[4] A massive amount of yen is given at the start; so players can assign all the classes and even create yards of grass for students to loiter in.^[4] Socializing with this student will be more than just teaching her kanji and arithmetic lessons.^[4] Menus and multiple choices are used to get through the game with a first-person perspective.^[4] There is even a track and field mini-game that is essentially button mashing.^[4]

Players can only make a girls' high school; there is no way to make an unisex school or a boys' school.^[4] There is a limitation of four floors for a customized high school;^[4] considering that the largest high school in Tokyo has four student-accessible floors. Disasters like earthquakes or floods have to be fixed up.^[4] However, but most of the problems can be solved inexpensively.^[4]
