Filming[]
While the musical and both films are set in Baltimore, Maryland, none of the school scenes were filmed in the real Patterson Park High School.
The 1988 film used Merganthaler Vocational Technical School, another school in Baltimore, for exterior shots, including the dodgeball scenes.[4] The interior shots were filmed at Perry Hall High School, a school to the northeast of Baltimore, in suburban Perry Hall.[4]
In the 2007 version, the movie was shot in Toronto, Canada. Patterson Park High's interior and exterior shots both took place at Lord Lansdowne High School.[5][1]
