How many people know you, Jay?

You deliberately give yourself a distinctive appearance in a smallish school.  Almost everyone (student, faculty, staff, parent, vendor . . . ) who deals with your school on a regular basis has a good chance of recognizing you.

Your grandfather is powerful figure in public service.  There are many who may see you as a way to  control or punish him. 

Even if the magical "don't I know you" effect might have affected more minds than you would like, most people in Moperville recognizing you will be able to produce a mundane-ish explanation.

Based on the number of uniforms given out, North is not a small school.  I assume that South is about the same size.  Also assuming that there are more than one counselors this would also indicate it's not a small school also https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2007-06-12

My high school had just under 600 students, grades 7-12. It also had two counselors to help the students with the bureaucratic stuff, and a head janitor kids went to for advice.

South has at least 2 janitors, which also indicates it a larger school

My HS, 10-12, had 200 students; the town had two other schools, similar size. Definitely a city, but not a big one.

Jay has an interesting (where did it come from?) cynicism about people's motivations, and a (resulting?) fear of them. She'll will never get to be a friend of Tedd's, if that's her goal, without tempering those back.
