A significant way that Jon Watts' Spider-Man: Homecoming differentiates itself from previous Spidey movies is that it leaves its hero in high school, and makes the location of Midtown High School a significant angle into the story. Peter Parker struggles to juggle his commitments in class with his desire to be a full-time crimefighter, and maybe even an Avenger. And the students in Peter's class are integral to the hero's journey as Homecoming rolls along, with Spidey (Tom Holland) drawing support from Ned (Jacob Batalon), his "guy in the chair," and making an Academic Decathalon a memorable plot point. School is an important component to Spider-Man: Homecoming, which explains why Sony and the team behind this movie just donated money to help one school out.
