Premise

Ned's Declassified: School Survival Guide follows the lives of Ned Bigby, Jennifer Mosely and Simon Nelson Cook. The entire series follows the three best friends through seventh and eighth grade. Throughout middle school, Ned makes a "survival guide" to give troubled or stressed students tips on how to survive middle school.

Locations

The show takes place at the fictional James K. Polk Middle School, in California (the flag can be seen in the school's entrance hall). The exterior of the school was filmed at La Mesa Junior High in Santa Clarita, California. The school is named after the 11th President of the United States, James K. Polk. The school's colors are gold and green and the mascot is the Wolves, which is a constant theme throughout the school's interior.

During Season 1, all of the show's action took place within the school, and with the exception of one or two notable occasions, everything happened indoors. However, during Season 2, the show's producers decided they wanted more exterior scenes, so more outdoor shots were used, and on certain occasions, the show took place off school property.

Spin-off

In June 2008, Werkheiser signed a development contract with Nickelodeon for a spin-off that would deal with his character's adventures in high school.^[9] The show had not been green lit as of April 2013, due to Daniel Curtis Lee being committed to another show, Disney XD's Zeke and Luther. It is unknown if Lindsey Shaw had signed a contract for the show as well. Werkheiser commented in a YouTube video that there would not be a continuation of the show, citing budget issues at Nickelodeon as the main reason.^[10]
