The staircase that Harriet (after her makeover) and Lainey (after her makeunder) walk down is completely out of place, from an architectural perspective, in the school. The rest of the school has a very utilitarian look with practical building materials, like cinder block, cement, and steel handrails. This staircase, on the other hand, has hardwood steps and a wooden banister that would likely break after a short time in an environment like a school.
It's clear that the set designers copied the staircase from the movie She's All That without regard for the fact that such a staircase is almost always found in a private home rather than in a large public building like a school.

According the opening voiceover, this episode takes place on January 16, yet despite the fact that the school is in eastern Pennsylvania, none of the trees have lost their leaves, there is green grass everywhere, and the characters spend a great deal of time outside without wearing coats or any other kind of clothing that's appropriate for what should be very cold temperatures. Coach Mellor even comes to the dance (and patrols the woods outside) in his very short gym shorts.
According to the opening voiceover, this episode takes place on "January 16, 1990-something," yet the main plot revolves around the movie She's All That (which many of the characters have seen), which was released on January 29, 1999.
The date of the opening voiceover is impossible, because the first January 16 after the movie's release would be in the year 2000.
