Studies of student subcultures in high school have contributed to the development of studies in this field by discovering a variety of subcultures such as an anti-school subculture. These studies, however, have several problems. Amongst others, we need theories and methods which make it possible to explain the polarization of student subcultures as well as to describe the distribution of them among students. For this purpose, I clarified three theories that may explain the polarization between pro-school and anti-school subcultures, and applied them to two sets of research data. Clarified theories in this paper are following; (1) culture clash, (2) status frustration and (3) school organization. The result showed the possibility that the status frustration model would fit in with facts, and that this would explain the polarization of subcultures. But we have too restricted information about school organization to identify the effect of it on the polarization. We have to pay attention to school organization more systematically. Furthermore, we have not analyzed the micro-sociological process of differentiation of students by teachers. On the basis of a status frustration model, we need to explore the school organization, and especially the process of differentiation of students. This process will be explained fully by regarding it as a labelling process.
