does your school have 1000 people, my city has 100000 people and it feels bad to name it.

If you named your school, people could come and vandalize, and do really bad stuff.

Because by sharing your school online then that would tell people what town/city you're in. Even if it is a common school name it's generally not good practice to share that kind of personal information online especially as you're real name etc are things linked to your school.

It's in the community guidelines. It's just for your safety. There are weird people online, even on Scratch. The more information you give them about yourself the easier it is for them to find you and potentially do something bad.

Be safe: keep personal and contact information private.

For safety reasons, don't give out any information that could be used for private communication, in person or online. This includes sharing real last names, phone numbers, addresses, hometowns, school names, email addresses, usernames or links to social media sites, video chatting applications, or websites with private chat functionality.

For safety reasons, you shouldn't post it to the internet in general since there's a chance it can be eventually tied back to your school, which in turn can be used to find your exact location and maybe even exact identity. Same goes for other entries from other schoolmates. Big yikes all around. Better to be safe than chase after hearts/stars/views here, no amount of hearts/stars/views is worth a safety sacrifice.
