K-12 Sleepaway School is a location created by Melanie Martinez for her film, K-12. It was a boarding school that Cry Baby attended, before it was destroyed after she and Ben used spit bubbles to lift the school up, and crash it into the ground.
K-12 Sleepaway School was run by the cruel Principal, who was later dismembered by the school's students during the song "Drama Club". The school seems to have existed for at least 150 years, as the banner at the dance reads "150th School Dance". After the Principal's death, his son Leo took his place. The school was destroyed by Ben and Cry Baby after the school dance, by trapping it in a bubble and causing it to disappear with their powers. The only characters who didn't leave (or were not seen leaving) the school were Kelly, Leo, as well as the teachers, nurses, and security personnel; their fates remain unknown.
Uniforms[]
Girls[]
The girls' uniform is made up of a pink pleated dress with a silk heart that features "K-12" embroidered onto it around the torso area, and also white puffy sleeves made out of a tulle.
- You can buy a replica at Melanie's official merchandise store.
Boys[]
The boys' uniform is made up of a beige shirt with blue ruffles around the collar and sleeves, and a silk heart that features "K-12" embroidered onto it around the torso area.
Cry Baby[]
Cry Baby's uniform is almost like every other girl's uniform, but dyed a pastel purple with flowers embroidered onto the sleeves. The lace around the skirt has also been removed, thus creating a slightly less puffy appearance to the dress.
