Students exit Massey Hill Classical high school in Fayetteville, NC, on Sept. 13, 2000. The school, while fully part of the public school system, has a "classical" curriculum based on fundamental arts and sciences, and has no sports teams. Students are required to wear uniforms. The three-year-old school is part of an educational experiment in North Carolina-using some of the features of private schools in the public school system. Chris Hondros/Newsmakers
