Vampire High by Douglas Rees

Vampire High by Douglas Rees, 226 pages

Freshman Cody Elliot is trying his best to convince his family to move back to sunny California - including purposefully failing all his classes. Frustrated, his dad enrolls him at an elite charter school - Vlad Dracul. The students there are a little weird and Cody soon discovers the reason is they are vampires. The principal and teachers are even more so strange -- they don't care about Cody's attendance or his school work. All Cody has to do to pass all his classes with straight As, receive a full college scholarship and be guaranteed a lucrative job is play on the water polo team. Cody's teammates are a bit odd, no one really plays water polo and that's just fine with the students and staff of Vlad Dracul. It's difficult to get humans to attend the school as everyone in Massachusetts know it's really a school for vampires. When Cody starts to try to earn his grades and really play the game, things start to happen.
