Shiritsu Bakalea Koukou (私立バカレア高校) (lit. "Private Bakalea High School") is a 2012 Japanese television series.

Plot

Bakada High School is a well-known Yankī (delinquent) school, where students only know how to fight. On the other hand, Cattleya High School is an exclusive girls' school meant for the rich, where students are very refined. One day, it was announced that Bakada would merge into Cattleya to form Cattleya No.2 High School. However, students from Bakada and Cattleya were unable to accept each other, since they come from vastly different backgrounds.

But over time, the two repelling groups slowly get to understand each other better.
