HELP! Will High schools be a deciding factor for admissions?

I come from a crappy school...I mean crappy. Last month, we had a teacher arrested for sexual relationships with a minor in school.....today, we had our chief janitor having misused girls in modeling...we're a C- school, one of the only schools around the district to have lowered in Star testing results...the principal is an ass, and people are trying hard to impeach him.

I really plan to tear gas my school once i graduate...lol jk
anyways, will my school history affect my admissions???

MIT will look at your school background as part of your overall context. If anything, if you've been able to achieve despite your school environment, that will be a point in your favor.
