Y U DUMB? Elementary School (2024)

Y U DUMB? Elementary School is a fictional school located in Pensacola, Florida, which many characters in the SML franchise attend. It was first seen in "First Day Of School!", with its exterior seen for the first time in "Jeffy Gets Hypnotized!". It is named after one of Jackie Chu's most commonly said phrases. At the beginning, the students were Junior, Jeffy, Joseph, Cody, Toad, Bully Bill, Patrick, Toadette, and Atso.

It is a common setting in the SML universe and is most frequently used in scenes in episodes revolving around Bowser Junior and his friends or Jeffy whenever they are in school.

Although it is unknown if there are other faculty in the school, the only known staff are Jackie Chu, Principal Steinbeck, Chiquita, Clarissa and Muriel.

Appearance[]

The school looks like a typical elementary school, with a stone sign outside with the school's name written on it. The school has a threesome of doors in front of it with the entrance. The only parts of the interior shown are Jackie Chu's classroom and Ms. Fitzpatrick's classroom.

The classroom has many desks in the center of it, with a few shelves and a map of the United States behind them. Above the shelves is the starboard. In front of the room is Jackie Chu's desk and the chalkboard. Around the chalkboard are things such as posters of shapes, numbers, and the alphabet.

The classroom also has a closet located on the same wall as the exit door to the classroom. It appears to contain various objects, such as a spare desk.

Known School Faculty[]

Jackie Chu[]

Jackie Chu is a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade teacher at this school. Since Jackie Chu is Chinese, what he teaches often revolves around Asian culture and food instead of the curriculum which is what he is supposed to be teaching.

Principal Steinbeck[]

He is the principal of the school. He first appeared in "First Day of School!".

Chiquita[]

She is the school's nurse who replaced the role after Patrick's mother got arrested, and first appeared in "Alien Jeffy!" .

Muriel[]

She is the school's lunch lady who first appeared in "The Lunch Lady!".

Clarissa[]

The kindergarten teacher who appears in the "Cody Goes To Kindergarten!" series.

Trivia[]

• The classroom has also been used in Chilly's vlogs where the cast recreates situations that have happened to them or memories they had when they were in school.
• Starting with "Jeffy's New Friend!", all the students go hybrid due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
• A school bell is almost always heard when the exterior of the school is shown.
• The exterior of the school is stock footage from Pond5.^[1]

  • 

    

    But this is a real place and is actually an emergency services center in Pennsylvania called Beaver County Emergency Services, but in the SML videos, and Pond5, the building is mirrored. The address is 351 14th St, Ambridge, PA 15003.
• The classroom used in the videos is located in a room specifically for the videos, although Logan has revealed that the hallway leading to the classroom is non-canon.
• Logan tried different light types to mimic the fluorescent lights often found in American schools.
• Since the classroom is actually a room in Logan's house, it was the only room in the school seen until "The Lunch Lady!", where the lunchroom and cafeteria were shown, with these scenes being filmed in the SML Store.
• In "First Day Of School!", Jackie Chu shows the class the starboard; where multiple stars can be added next to each student's name (he gives every student apart from Bully Bill and Joseph a star for writing their name down), and stated that the student with the most stars at the end of the year will get a surprise. Not only was this surprise never revealed or ever mentioned again after this SML Movie, but no following school episodes have mentioned the starboard since then.
• Y U DUMB? Elementary is an elementary school, but yet, the students would be in 7th grade, which is middle school, so that could mean Y U DUMB? Elementary is a K-12 school.
• Some of the students in the classroom have unknowingly disappeared and they were never mentioned again (one being Toadette).
  • Although their names are still on the board in the back, this proves that Logan has completely forgot about the starboard.
