Our high school found that only freshmen were going to the Homecoming dance, so they changed it up. (It's the only at-school dance we have). Now in addition to the dance, there is a philanthropic activity, games, more food, and student leaders really talked it up more. Still, my son who doesn't like too-noisy, too-crowded, too-bustling activities never went.
My older son did go to prom, three times! It was better because of they way it is run, including luxury tour buses to take them there and back, and the food is good.
