Suffolk County Charter School

The Suffolk County charter school is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.

Background
The school was originally a private school for elementary level students. Low on funding, the school's principal Jackie Hudson signed the institution on with a government experiment that promised continued funding upon perpetual compliance with the program. This was done without students', faculty, or parents' consent. The experiment was to test a new food paste that granted increased mental acuity.

However, there were some detractors. As cited by Mr. Davidson's terminal entry, the side effects appeared to be irritability and restlessness. This was followed by his note of of an increase in visits to disciplinary staff by students. The paste dispensers and program were apparently installed and initialized over a week before the Great War. All attempts by students to bring real food were met with aggressive confiscation by school staff, and subsequent warnings over school announcements.

These announcements can be found via holotape recordings on the bottom floor's podium and the top floor's auditorium after dispatching the Glowing One in the room. Upon closer inspection the majority of the Ghouls fought on the campus are in fact a pinker color in comparison to other ghouls in the wasteland. This is presumably due to the paste given to students and faculty in the premises that caused skin discoloration. This is corroborated by the entries on Mr. Davidson's terminal as he does mention that students were looking "pinker" in skin color.

Layout
The school consists of 3 levels. Main Floor, Upper Floor and a basement. Upon entry, the player character should clearly see the stairs lead to the upper floor had collapsed, also there are two hallways. The left hallway leads to a series of classrooms and the right hallway lead to the reception desk, principal's office and the cafeteria entrance is chained from the opposite side.

In order to access the second floor, the player character must use the left hallway upon first entry of the school. Then go through a series of classrooms then through the collapsed cafeteria floor to gain access to the basement. There is a fusion core to be picked up once the player character has wandered deeper into the basement. There is also an elevator in working condition that can bring the player character back to the main floor to gain access to the back stairway. The back stairway can only be entered through the basement elevator because rubble blocks the path at the main floor. The upper floor consists of one big room with a series of smaller locked classrooms around it.


 * Note: It is actually possible to access the upper floor, by jumping carefully from the collapsed staircase (in the main foyer). Or, you can melee V.A.T.S your way to the upper floor, by targeting the pink ghoul laying down at the top of the collapsed staircase.

Across the school is the Murkwater construction site. You should proceed with caution in this area, because of heavy mirelurk infestation at the construction site, including a mirelurk queen. The exterior and interior of the school is infested with heavy "Pink" ghoul activity and a glowing one, which will start chasing you if the door to the library on the upper floor is opened.

Notable loot

 * Unstoppables issue #4 (+1% chance of avoiding all damage from an attack) - In the library on the second floor.
 * Fusion core - In the basement, inside the farthest generator.
 * Very large amounts of Food paste scattered throughout the school.
 * Approximately 10 Vault-Tec lunchboxes, in classrooms, desks, on the floor, or in lockers.
 * Stealth Boy - In the basement, behind a door secured with an expert terminal.
 * 5 overdue books - One on the counter outside the principal's office next to a broken terminal, one right next to the stealth boy described above, one behind a large door with Novice lock in the kitchen area, one on the second floor, on a table behind a locked expert door, one on the floor of the library on the second floor next to the dead body in a pink dress. There is a terminal to return them in the library on the second floor.
 * 3 school announcements holotapes - The first is in the principal's office on the desk, the second in the cafeteria on the podium, and the third in the library on the desk next to the Unstoppables. All of them detail announcements over time as the school begins to initialize the NAPP.
