"High School" is a 1968 direct cinema documentary film which follows the typical day of a group of students at their high school (Northeast High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.)

It was one of the first direct cinema (or cinéma vérité) documentaries. This film was actually banned from being shown in Philadelphia for a number of years due to the way it depicted high schoolers as being oppressed, although the students, faculty, and administrators in the film all attested after the first screening of the film that they were shown in an accurate light.

The movie was directed by Frederick Wiseman and was selected in 1991 for preservation in the National Film Registry. (Source: IMDB)
