Newsweek has ranked Inglemoor in the top two percent of US high schools and has named Inglemoor as one of the "Best American High Schools." Students at Inglemoor have an average reading proficiency of 88.7% and a math proficiency of 75.2%. Inglemoor students consistently score higher than the average district and state student. The adjusted 4-year cohort graduation rate for the class of 2013 was 94.7%, whereas Northshore School District's corresponding rate is 89.6% and Washington State's is 76.0%. In 2007, Inglemoor was honored as a No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon School, one of only 238 public schools nationwide to be honored, for its consistently high performance in reading and math.

Of the 522 graduates from Inglemoor's class of 2013, 82% are reported as going to college. Of these college bound graduates, 42% are going to a public 4-year school in Washington, 5% to a private 4-year school in Washington, 32% to a public 2-year school in Washington, 0-1% in a private 2-year school in Washington, and 21% to out of state schools (8% public 4-year, 11% private 4-year, 2% public 2-year, 0-1% private 2-year). Compared to Northshore School District, Inglemoor's class 2013 has a higher percentage of students going to college (82% vs. 77%). Of 2013 graduates across Washington State, 62% were enrolled in postsecondary education. Graduates of Inglemoor's class of 2013 are disproportionally enrolled in public 4-year Washington schools (42% vs. 31% statewide).

During the 2018 spring school year, Vicki Sherwood retired after her long reign over Inglemoor. Her retirement was widely celebrated by her many allies and few enemies, and Kenmore even dubbed a week of May as "Vicki Sherwood Week". However due to her leave, it left a enormous power vacuum as Inglemoor. Without her strong leadership, Inglemoor was heavily weakened, and eventually fell down to the forces of the IBA and later the Trash army, until the Grand Orchestral Empire defeated them.

The Battle of Inglemoor:

The Grand Orchestral Empire was quick to seize the window of opportunity after the defeat of the Trash army. In the fall of 2018, their forces ambushed the heavily defended Sherwood's Forest, where they were held in a vicious stalemate. Finally after a three day battle, the GOE successfully breached the main office, taking over the school. From then on, they controlled Inglemoor's army, took down the Inglemoor flags, and established martial law over the school.

Takeover of Kenmore:

The GOE, after their coup in Inglemoor, realized that they needed to sustain their momentum. The forces of Jice realized they needed more manpower in order to expand their rapidly expanding empire; they took over neighboring Moorlands in 2 days and successfully annexed part of Bothell High school and all of North Creek in a week. In order to control their greater land mass, they decided they needed to amass a fearsome air force. Only two days after their takeover of North Creek, they decided to send a 2,000 strong army, over 60% of their manpower, to invade the Kenmore Airport known as the Battle of Kenmore Air They were met with armed opposition from the national guard and police, outnumbering them 2 to one, as well as having much better equipment. After a two week tense standoff, the GOE forces suddenly rushed the police at night, quickly defeating them with minimum casualties and successfully taking over Kenmore air. This was a pivotal point for the Inglemoor empire. With their newfound air force, they quickly annexed all of Kenmore, Bothell, and Kirkland, moving their invading army to eventually stopping South after Conquering 83% of Seattle.

However even though they were the dominant power, new threats were rising. Northeast Tacoma was swiftly taken over by a mysterious, hooded figure only known to his followers, the LCPs, as "headphones guy". Due North lay the GOE, who recently took over Seattle. After taking over the NET (Northeast Tacoma), he immediately began harassing tributaries to the GOE, sending small forces to chip away at their forces. Historians debate whether this was an act of intimidation, wanting to weaken the GOE before their imminent war, or a mixture of both. However, none of this mattered when the GOE suddenly mobilized 21,000 troops and began their invasion of the NET.

When reports of the invasion came to headphones guy, he was shocked. Some accounts say he laid down and stared in silenced. Others said that he lost his temper and had a tantrum. Whatever the outcome was, the NET forces quickly but sloppily retaliated, sending most of their 10,000 strong army to fight. Even though they were vastly outnumbered the NET forces were known for their mysterious, elite fighters numbering around 15 or so, but each were rumored to have the capabilities to take down a mid sized city police force by themselves. Some of these LCP became extremely feared among the Seattle area. Examples of these included Bane, able to tank sniper caliber bullets and a skilled hand to hand combatant; The Irish Ball, also known as wrecking machine, able to destroy anything in his path; the preacher who had mysterious but deadly psychic powers.

IB civil war

A significant event in the early history of Inglemoor is the IB civil war. During the year 2018, many IB students began to indulge in the Trash lifestyle, directly violating the ways of IB students. Soon, IB students found themselves between two options: either to stay with IB or turn to trash ways. This caused many tensions between the two sides and soon the corrupted IB kids decided to change the IB constitution by force and sympathize with the TRASH army, the IB's main and most dangerous enemy. A result of this was a brutal 7 month civil war, where the trash side was wiped out, but the IB faced heavy casualties. In the end, the IB was victorious, but it allowed the TRASH army to defeat the weakened the IB forces in the IBO-Trash war.

The IBO-TRASH war was a brutal 7 month war between the IB forces and the Trash army. Even though vastly outnumbered almost 5 to 1, the IB managed to make up with their superior technological innovation, intelligence, and organization. Initially, the Trash army, exiled by Vicki Sherwood to the field and the Eastern Woods controlled those respective areas while the IB forces controlled almost all of the main buildings: the office, 700 800 900 buildings and allied with the orchestra in room 301. However, during a violent thunderstorm at night, the Trash army surprise invaded Inglemoor, with troops numbering in the thousands. In the perspective of those awake, Mark and his henchman was busy creating new fluid weapons when suddenly, there was an earthquake, causing many beakers to fall off the walls to shatter, spilling many potent chemicals. His henchman began to cower under a desk while warning Mark about the supposed earthquake. However, Mark, knowing full well what it was, simply flicked out his famed pocketknife, grinned, and said "No Jason. It is not an earthquake. It's footsteps marching".

speed towards the Inglemoor stronghold. In a matter of minutes, they took over all of the 900 rooms and over half of the 800 building. The IB army hastily pulled a counterattack, which managed to defend the 700 building. However, the most intense fighting was near the office and Sherwood's forest where the IBA used guerilla warfare tactics similar to Che Guerra learned in IB HL history. Using the dense foliage from the trees, they hid in them, attacking periodically with ambush attackers and snipers. For 5 months, the remaining IBA was able to bring the Trash army into a stalemate, halting their advance just short of the office. However, Bothell sent hundreds of fresh reinforcement troops to fight in the forest. 2 days later the IBA crumbled, and the Trash army took over the administration office, ending the decades long IB domination of Inglemoor forever.

For many years the Trash forces ruled over Inglemoor. It seemed like that no other force would be able to defeat them, so the Trash leaders became incompetent, lazing off due to the supposed immortality of their empire. Crime, drugs and violence was rampant, and military officers became corrupt and greedy with power. In the corner of Inglemoor in room 301, an aspiring musical leader dreamed of coming into power and taking not only control of Inglemoor, but the whole world. This kid's dreams, unknown to him, would almost become reality when he would set up the largest and most powerful Inglemoor nation, the Grand Orchestral Empire. The story of the GOE was filled with violent power struggles, ruthless dictators, and use of force, fear and assassinations. However, this one student came on top of this, and was able to become one of the most powerful man in the world.

The Janissaries

The Janissaries were the secretive, expert spy organization thought to be set up by Vicki Sherwood that spied on and reported crimes through Inglemoor, ranging to minor misdemeanors such as cheating rings and vaping to violent felonies such as the IHS Naked Viks incident and deadly drug exchanges. The Janissaries allowed Sherwood to rule with an iron fist throughout Inglemoor with the use of fear and high tech technology that is over 25 years advanced from public technology. The common janissary is equipped with scouter contacts that can magnify vision by 50 fold, zone in on conversations from 70 meters away at 60 db, sense drugs, alcohol and other illegal substances through 12 cm of fabric, and sense dangerous weapons such as guns and knives. Many are also equipped with headphones, where the Janissary HQ commands them to carry out missions. The elite janissaries have even more advanced technology, which vary between each scout. One has a specialized suit disguised as a jacket which can use its sleeves to deliver a 17,000 psi force when engaged in combat. The suit also has a jetpack that can be deployed when needed to flee an area or intense fighting. It is rumored that the janissaries are testing other prototypes of equipment, including invisibility cloaks, teleportation devices and anti-matter bombs.

Mesopotamia

The history of the Janissaries goes back to ancient Mesopotamia, at the start of the civilization of Sumer thousands of years ago. Vicki Sherwood, who was only 107 years old at that time, was gaining power rapidly. To police her growing empire, started the Janissaries, or in Sumerian, 𒂍𒀭𒈾𒁺 𒉺𒋼𒋛 (en-an-an-tum ensi lagas).

The janissaries were widely successful, able to crush any resistance and infiltrate rival groups. However, the group did not last long when the Persians led by Cyrus the Great conquered the Chaldean Babylonians. It later emerged in the Ottoman Empire, where, again, it fell. The current incarnation at Inglemoor is the smallest in terms of numbers, but far most successful in terms of secrecy and effectiveness. Even though the current Janissaries are made up of different people with vastly diverse identities and abilities, the Janissaries have one thing in common: their unwavering loyalty to Sherwood.

Inglemoor is known for its music program. Its marching band has won many different awards, and its Wind Ensemble is nationally known, playing at Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center in April 2015 along with the Inglemoor Orchestra. The marching band performs during football season, with halftime shows consisting of the high-step marching style. During the boys' and girls' basketball season the program supports each team with pep bands. In the Vancouver Heritage Festival of 2017, five of Inglemoor's instrumental groups and three vocal groups all won First Place Gold in their respective categories, sweeping all of the sections they entered in. In 2018, the well known orchestra and jazz director Jim "Jice" Rice retired his long time job as teacher and WMEA chairman. He is succeeded by new director Charlie Fix, and band director Ted Christensen.

Inglemoor during the 2020-2021 Season

As Covid-19 fell upon the community, many were left to wonder about who was truly in charge of Inglemoor, in an apparent new power vacuum left by the fall of the Trash army, and the growing support for the new dictators of the orchestra. At the same time, a violent and dangerous cult, lead by their brutal leader "stilts guy", was growing at the nearby university. This cult would stop at nothing to support their leader, even going as far as to create a rebirth of the Trash Army at the university, under a new power structure, headed by stilts guy. This period is also considered by many to be the "quiet period" of the LCP; after their humiliating defeat in wars past, they mainly retreated to obscure corners of the world, while fomenting a new war against the cult of stilts guy. This culminated in the battle of May 2021, after a year of anarchy at inglemoor, in which stilts guy directed his fanatics to take over finn hill, sparking a massive counterattack by the once thought as defeated LCP army. This battle has been seen as most as the biggest in history thus far, almost completely destroying much of the area. The end of this battle resulted in a stalemate between the two armies.

The Fall 2021 Catastrophe

Returning to School

As students returned to Inglemoor for the 2021 school year, a dark cloud fell upon them, signaling a dark year ahead.

The 2020-2021 school year was a disastrous time for Inglemoor. Unknown to students, the actual school district once "in charge" of the school had officially abandoned Inglemoor by June of 2021, after losing all contact with stilts guy and failing to reason with him. Despite this fact, stilts guy had rapidly hired mysterious figures to make Inglemoor look as official as possible for the 2021 school year; they even went as far as to edit the official Wikipedia page, removing all mentions of what had really happened.

Stilts guy had spent the entire summer strengthening his cult to numbers not ever seen before in human history. The previous war with the LCP had definitely hurt his morale and cult, but he was able to maintain power, promising his disciples total world domination after conquering the school once and for all. In his famous "Standing with the Gods" speech, he referenced previous failed attempts to take over the school, lampooning Jice, the trash army, the IB armies, and even the Janissaries. He promised his cult that he would never fail them, and committed to convert every single student at the school that year to his cult. He was the new principal.

Stilts guy would soon come to regret his words. Even though Sherwood was gone, her Jannisarries were not, and they were a trillion times more loyal to Sherwood than the cult was to stilts guy. They often joked amongst themselves about how weak stilts guy was, and how he would easily crumble. In Sherwood's abscence, however, they needed a true leader. One member, known clandestinely as the Sleeping Man, was the de facto leader of the Jannissaries. He was famed for his incredible work undermining the growing Trash movement and subsequent Army back in 2017-2018. However, the Sleeping Man did not feel he was fit for the new leader of the movement, so he had looked elsewhere for a true leader. During this time, there had been some rumors among the Jannisarries that the second coming of Sherwood had happened at the nearby university, in the form of the Boy with Big Plans. The Sleeping Man had been impressed with the Boy's recent and complete takeover of the university, in a huge event that took place on top of the Columbia Tower, a completely secretive event.

The Boy seemed very willing to help the Jannisaries defeat stilts guy, as Inglemoor was his old stomping ground, and he had fond memories of fighting alongside the GOE in years past. "It would be fun," he said to himself, twirling his knife around his desk and drinking whiskey, "to go back.. to finish the job..."; the Boy agreed to the Sleeping Man, and enrolled with a complete fake name and ID for the 2021 year. This would be the start of the end for Stilts Guy.

The year started off normally, although most students were confused about the changes made to the school: banners and paintings showing Stilts Guy were hung almost everywhere, and armed members of his cult were positioned in every hallway, especially near the Vape Rooms. The Boy was not fazed at all, however, as he had seen Inglemoor go through countless regime changes before. He was annoyed with the new learning material at the school, which all seemed to be dedicated to learning about how great Stilts Guy was, and some rewritten history about how he had won every war that had taken place at Inglemoor, despite not even stepping foot there before 2020.

A few months in, the Boy was almost ready to trigger his Big Plan, after reading thousands of books about it. He was going to take the Stilts away from Stilts guy, which would certainly implode his cult, and send them into a frenzy. He did not expect this to trigger a war, however, but that is exactly what happened, when Stilts guy ordered his whole army to attack the Boy.

At this point, there were only an estimated 10-15 Jannissaries left at Inglemoor, and the Boy. This meant the first battle was about 16 - to - 21,000; but this only lasted minutes before escalating into a full on World War (all contained in Inglemoor though). The previously thought defeated armies of the IB, Trash army, GOE, and even LCP suddenly charged into battle; the other armies had been rebuilding their forces during the 2020-2021 school year, able to recruit from other schools and the nearby university (the Frats seemed to like the Trash army particularly).

To say this war dwarfed WWII would be an understatement. The battle-worn Inglemoor was witnessing yet another full-scale war on its territory, but this time, there were multiple sides, and it was unclear what the motive was. All the forces seemed relatively matched, and witness accounts include sightings of the likes of Jice, Mark, Headphones Guy, The Librarian, That Navy Guy, and much much more. This was certainly the biggest event of the century (until the wars of 2022 and 2023) and it ultimately ended in an almost completely leveled Inglemoor, and the destruction of the Stilts Cult.
