As the millennial students of High School USA confront the unique challenges of growing up in a modern world, their superpositive attitude helps them face any situation. The kids navigate each issue -- from cyberbullying to drug addiction to embarrassing incidents -- with their upbeat and painfully naive leader, Marsh Merriwether. Each situation provides an opportunity for the students to learn a valuable lesson. The all-star voice cast includes Vincent Kartheiser and Mandy Moore. Created by executive producer Dino Stamatopoulos.

High School USA!, a broad and dull spoof of the Archie gang, slides down the wall quickly. Go to Full Review Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media 07/21/2013
2/5
The jokes aren't sharply written enough to make the sitcommy antics funny, and the goings on aren't absurd enough to elevate the same old plots you've seen a million times. Go to Full Review Tom Conroy Media Life 07/21/2013
It seems to be trying to mock the idealized view of teen life in the old Archie Comics while also making points about contemporary high school. With its attention divided, the show misses its targets most of the time Go to Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 07/21/2013
High School USA! has its moments of humor as it takes a contrarian approach to conventional wisdom about high school Go to Full Review Read all reviews

10/27/2019 If you ever thought you have heard a terrible joke, tune in to High School U.S.A. and see how truly lazy that abomination is. See more 08/17/2014 It is a play on Archie comics, yet it is very adult. Overall a great show; it is very different than what one might expect. See more Read all reviews
