Video Game High School, or VGHS, is an American pro-gaming academy that teaches various forms and types of gaming. It is considered the most intense pro gaming academy in the country. The school has about 400 students, including some of the best gamers in the world such as The Law, Jenny Matrix and Brian D.
Ranking System
Point accumulation
VGHS utilizes a point-based ranking system, where students are awarded (or deducted) points based on their performance in gameplay, regardless of the genre of the game. Exceptional performances award points while insufficient performances deduct points from a player. A player's points are directly tied to their school ranking, though a players rank is not necessarily an indication of their skill, as Brian D throughout Season 1 remained the lowest rank player in the school despite defeating The Law and the entire Varsity team in the Season 1 finale. Another example of this is Cold Turkey, a member of VGHS Varsity team who is ranked #3 in the entire school, is defeated quickly and effortlessly by Jenny Matrix, who is ranked #6, in Episode 2.
Expulsion policy
As quoted by Ki Swan in Episode 2, Paragraph 90 of Section 3 of official VGHS rulebook states, "Should a student's rank fall below zero, then they are automatically, instantly, and ruthlessly expelled."
Re-admission
The only player shown to have returned to VGHS after being expelled is Brian D in Episode 9 after defeating the entire varsity team and winning the final match of the VGHS clan tryouts between the JV and Varsity FPS teams. Prior to being expelled Brian, had locked himself in the system, allowing him to compete in the finals. Though Calhoun objected to this "rule", Brian managed to convince him to allow him to play. Brian's successful progress throughout the match incrementally restored his points, and his victory performance earned him enough points to rise out of the expulsion threshold.

Location
The exact location of VGHS is unknown in Season 1, however it is revealed in small letters on Shane Pizza's business card that VGHS is located in 744 Evergreen Terrace, Seattle, WA. This is likely a fictional address meant as a homage to The Simpsons, as 744 Evergreen Terrace is also the address of The Flanders' house, long-time neighbors of the Simpsons family.
The location of the VGHS filming set in real life is, however, in Los Angeles, CA.
