I'm watching the movie right now and its one of my all time favorites but I was just wondering since when does a high school have phone booths??? Usually. At regular high schools if you need to call someone you use the office phone and that's usually just for emergencies not casual conversations on if someone's sick or not...
My high school (in Aptos, CA) had two payphones outside of the gym. Our middle school had one too, in front of the office which I used after baseball practice to get picked up.

We had them outside the theatre (auditorium), outside the Boy's gym, both inside and outside, and I think either inside or just outside the cafeteria (that's where dances took place). We likely wouldn't have been allowed to use the office or teachers' phones.
my school had a bar with 10 beers on tap.

Thread ender.
I went to high school in the 80s, and we had pay phones.
shareBefore the advent of cell phones, you could find a payphone pretty much anywhere. My high school had a couple near the gym.

My middle school had phone booths and that was in the early '90s. What's the problem?

I did sixty in five minutes once...
My middle school had a payphone, but without a booth. That was 2004-2007. My high school had payphones. Some didn't work. They were near the lost and found without a booth. That was 2007-2011. My community college had a security office phone. That was 2011-2013. My four year university has a payphone, and a free resident phone. This is in 2014.
shareI remember my high school had pay phones as well, I don't remember if we had them in middle school and elementary though but I'm guessing they did in at least middle school. Traditional phone booths though I'd assume are highly unusual though.
shareMy school too had pay phones. We used to charge collect calls to the number of one of them.
