Degrassi: School's Out! (or simply School's Out!) is the 1992 Series Finale movie to Degrassi High.It's the end of the semester for many of the Degrassi students, who have graduated are preparing for everything from college to marriage. Joey (Pat Mastroianni) and Caitlin (Stacie Mistysyn) continue their relationship as they prepare to go off to school. While she is working hard at her job to save money and mulling over taking their relationship to the next level, he decides to carry on with Tessa Campanelli (Kirsten Bourne), who is willing to give him what he wants, to eventual dire consequences. Meanwhile, as Snake (Stefan Brogren) attempts to find some good fortune during this time in spite of his string of bad luck, Wheels (Neil Hope) develops an alcohol addiction that has fatal consequences.The film was Darker and Edgier than the TV series that preceded it, with Downer Endings for nearly everyone, fanservice in regards to Tessa, swearing, Wheels getting incarcerated, and Joey Jeremiah becoming a jerkass. Other prominent characters of the show also appear but in diminished roles (such as Spike and Yick; some characters such as Dwayne and Melanie don't even appear at all. The movie was followed by Degrassi Talks before the franchise went on a nine-year hiatus.Followed by Degrassi: The Next Generation. | |

| Degrassi: School's Out! / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: None of the television series that came before it were exactly lighthearted fluff to begin with, but the film was considerably more serious, with very small amounts of humor. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Degrassi: School's Out! / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Joey spends nearly the entire film mocking Snake for his inability to both find a girlfriend and get laid, to the extent that he verbally bullies him throughout the entire summer. This comes back to bite Joey hard when his repeated teasing leads Snake to snap and rail at him for carrying on a relationship with two women at the same time... right as Caitlin walks into the room to hear it. | |

| Degrassi: School's Out! / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: Whether or not Tessa went through with the abortion, as pointed out by Pat Mastroianni (Joey) himself during a 2017 interview. The last time Tessa's seen, she's shown sitting in a clinic waiting for her appointment to get an abortion, but the look on her face makes it clear that she's conflicted over the situation, and she's not seen in the franchise again after this. | |

| Degrassi: School's Out! / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Tessa spent most of Degrassi High pining for Joey, who never notices her interest due to being with Caitlin. In this film, after Tessa breaks up with her current boyfriend, she finally acts on her feelings for Joey, who (having more-or-less parted with Caitlin) decides to date her over the summer. | |

Death of a Child | |
| Degrassi: School's Out! / int_269e82c1 | comment |
Wheels' decision to slowly start developing an alcohol dependency problem comes to a head during the last long weekend of the summer, when he goes on a bender during a trip to a summer home and offers to drive Lucy to a nearby store (while drunk). The resulting experience leads to the Death of a Child, Lucy being critically injured and Wheels going to prison for several years as a result. | |

Break the Haughty | |
| Degrassi: School's Out! / int_2af6bbeb | comment |
Break the Haughty: Joey spends most of the film riding high, due to stringing along Caitlin while carrying on an affair with Tessa behind her back. This comes back to bite him hard when he loses both of them — the former, due to him making her pregnant and forcing her to get an abortion in secret, and the latter after she'd initially pledged to scuttle her plans to go to a distant university to be with him instead. | |

Smoky Voice: For some non-smoking related reason, Spike has one during her scenes working as a film processor. This is never explained and magically goes away by the end.explanationOn the I'm In Love With A Girl Named Spike podcast, Amanda Stepto said that this was a result of her spending the previous night before the shoot screaming at a punk concert. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Degrassi: School's Out! / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: The film has this for nearly everyone: Joey and Caitlin break up after he's forced to admit to cheating on her with Tessa. Tessa herself gets pregnant, has an abortion and while she keeps this from him, tells him how she hates him and ruined her life. Wheels drives drunk and both kills a child and critically injures Lucy, who ends up blinded and unable to walk and unable to honor her scholarship to college. Snake ends up finding a girl (who he saves from drowning), but now has a strained relationship with Joey and cuts off ties with Wheels. | |

Can't Get Away with Nuthin': Joey tries to pawn off Tessa towards the end of the summer by deliberately avoiding her calls... only to get called out by his own mother for not manning up and taking control of the situation, and forcing him to confront things head-on. Wheels' decision to slowly start developing an alcohol dependency problem comes to a head during the last long weekend of the summer, when he goes on a bender during a trip to a summer home and offers to drive Lucy to a nearby store (while drunk). The resulting experience leads to the Death of a Child, Lucy being critically injured and Wheels going to prison for several years as a result. | |

Plot Hole | |
| Degrassi: School's Out! / int_6331ba26 | comment |
Plot Hole: At the end, Spike tells Caitlin she is already at university. In The Next Generation, she tells Manny that everyone else went to university while she stayed home due to her motherly obligations. Some fans have handwaved this by noting that she possibly just attempted university before dropping out, but it's implied in Next Generation that she never went at all. | |

Did Not Get the Girl: All of Joey's plans are ruined — his attempt at a fling with Tessa over the summer ends when she realizes she's pregnant (and doesn't tell him), then breaks up with him while telling him to never talk to her again. Conversely, Caitlin discovers Joey's affair and dumps him. While they are shown to dance at Alexa and Simon's wedding "as friends", it's clear that they are highly unlikely to ever rekindle their relationship. | |

Took a Level in Jerkass: Compared to his characterization in Junior High and High, Joey gets this in spades. He spends the entirety of the summer mocking Snake for not getting laid, carries on an affair behind Caitlin's back (while still letting her think they're going to lose their virginity together), and clumsily tries to deny the whole matter when he gets caught by Caitlin. | |

| Degrassi: School's Out! / int_90b330ab | comment |
No-Respect Guy: Snake gets this for the majority of the film, being treated horribly by Joey and being portrayed as a hapless, loveless loser who can't do anything right. It makes no sense, considering he had multiple girls interested in him all through junior high and high school, and was respected by everyone. Thankfully, it appears this attitude is dropped by the end of the film, as people thank him after he saves Allison from the lake. | |

Never My Fault: Wheels has already been pulling this off by blaming everything he's done on his parents being killed by a drunk driver. In a case of bitter irony, he ends up being one himself and injures Lucy and kills a small boy. Unfortunately, as he's being visited by Joey, he still refuses to take responsibility for his actions, saying "It's not my fault that that kid wasn't wearing a seatbelt, or that Lucy wanted chips!" This disgusts Snake so much that he breaks off his friendship with him. | |

Chekhov's Skill: Early on, Snake gets a job as a lifeguard, ostensibly to meet, rescue and fall in love with a girl who is drowning in the local swimming pool. The entire summer goes by and Snake functionally gives up hope, chalking it up to being a silly dream. After he unintentionally spills the beans to Caitlin about Joey's affair and goes outside to contemplate what happened, he is pressed into action when Allison (another student) becomes intoxicated and starts drowning, leading him to step up and save her. | |

Oh, Crap!: Snake has this reaction upon realizing that Lucy has gotten a ride with Wheels to buy more snacks even as he was liberally drinking. Sure enough, the next scene is of him under arrest for severely injuring her and killing a three-year-old boy. | |

P.O.V. Cam: As is par for the franchise, the opening party sequence has several clips shown through the perspective of a camcorder filming students for post-graduation interviews. | |

Everyone Has Standards | |
| Degrassi: School's Out! / int_b4a6ae4c | comment |
Everyone Has Standards: Snake, aside from being the Only Sane Man among his friendships with Joey and Wheels, is so angry over both of his friends actions and otherwise crappy treatment of him and others, that he rats out the former and severs ties with the latter. | |

Demoted to Extra: Several characters, including Yick, Erica and Heather and (notably) Spike, who's only apparent purpose here is to work in a photolab and intermittently dispense advice to Tessa. | |

| Degrassi: School's Out! / int_bc00493f | comment |
Precision F-Strike: The most iconic part of the movie and of the original Degrassi era as a whole, and it happens twice. Snake has one when he blurts out about how Joey, who was mocking him about his lackluster love life, had spent his whole summer "dating Caitlin and fucking Tessa". Caitlin in turn does this as well when she confronts Joey about it. | |

| Degrassi: School's Out! / int_f06b07ff | comment |
Locked Out of the Loop: Tessa and her friend are the only ones who know about her pregnancy and subsequent abortion. As far as we know, Joey never learned of this, even during his time on The Next Generation. | |

The Alleged Car | |
| Degrassi: School's Out! / int_f237981e | comment |
The Alleged Car: Played with. As is the Running Gag in this franchise, Wheels buys a junker early on in the film, and spends weeks unsuccessfully trying to get it working, until it finally kicks in and starts working normally towards the end of the film. However, the fateful crash that Wheels and Lucy are involved in is not caused due to the car malfunctioning, but due to Wheels having been inebriated. | |

Girlfriend in Canada | |
| Degrassi: School's Out! / int_f93d8d52 | comment |
Girlfriend in Canada: Well, they're all in Canada, but Wheels seemingly has a real one: "Karen", who took his virginity and who he's moving to Alberta to be with after the summer. What happens to her after he goes to prison is never explained. Should be noted that Karen may be referring to a book-exclusive character from Wheels' story from the Degrassi book series. | |

| Degrassi: School's Out! / int_feb72f62 | comment |
Literal Genie: The entire film revolves around characters getting their desires filled in the most roundabout (and often mean-spirited) way possible. Joey wanted to get laid. He is able to bed both Tessa and Caitlin, buts ends up with neither of them by the end of the summer. Wheels didn't want to live with his grandparents. He winds up echoing his parents' fate, and winds up in prison for several years. Caitlin wanted to choose between university and love. Joey made the choice very easy for her. Snake wanted a lifesaving fantasy. When he gets it, it doesn't help him feel any better. Despite getting into a relationship with the girl he saves, it's ambiguous whether he's actually happy about the whole situation. | |
