How would you describe the 2010's school years in terms of their culture so far?
As for me, this is how I'd describe them:
2009-2010: First outright early 2010's school year with a little bit of 2000's holdovers.
2010-2011: Quintessential early 2010's school year
2011-2012: Peak school year for dubstep, also the first school year that showed hints of mid-2010's culture
2012-2013: Transitional school year from early 2010's culture to mid-2010's culture with the release of Vine and trends like twerking becoming popular
2013-2014: Peak for apps like Vine and the first outright mid-2010's school year
2014-2015: Definitive 2010's school year. Trap becomes extremely popular.
2015-2016: Not really sure how I'd describe this one. It really seemed like core 2010's but it felt kind of "in its own era" especially with the Pokemon Go app being very popular during the summer of 2016.
2016-2017: Trump becomes president. The transition from mid-2010's into late 2010's IMO.
2017-2018: Too early to determine. Still seems pretty 2010's to me overall, but I feel like we will start to see a change in music this year. I think trap will start to fade and be completely obsolete by the 2020-2021 school year.

In terms of pop culture, the 2010-2011 & 2015-2016 years were the best imo.

Based on my time in High school;
2012 [Year 7] - Electropop. "Call Me Maybe". HTC and Samsung Galaxy S3. Dubstep.
2013 [Year 8] - Emergence of #hashtags and selfies.
2014 [Year 9] - Ebola jokes, e.g "do you want to have ebola cereal?". Emergence and adoption of snapchat and instagram. Ice bucket challenge. Rise and fear of ISIS. "Happy" by Pharrel Williams. "Thinking out Loud". EDM and trap emerges. Flash mobs. "Freaks" by Savage and Timmy Trumpet.
2015 [Year 10] - Continued dominance of EDM and trap.
2016 [Year 11] - "Bottle flipping". Trump's election victory and the panic surrounding it. Falling out of touch with Top-40 (don't know why, but a lot of people in my year group stopped following/liking the Top-40 last year).
2017 [Year 12] - Fidget spinners. 'Everything old is cool again'.

It used to really annoy me as well, because I thought it was disrespectful. Many people died after contracting Ebola, yet kids at my school were making a mockery out of it. I'm not sure if it was like this at your school, but everyone at my High School used to play "Freaks" by Savage & Timmy Trumpet a lot. It was really frustrating. I think it's one of the worst songs of the 2010s!

It was definitely popular, but I don't remember it being so popular that it was hard to avoid!  Maybe it's popularity varied in different areas?

Now that the 2017-2018 school year is officially over, how would you guys describe the school year culturally?
I know Fortnite was extremely popular that school year.

The 2011-12 schoolyear definitely was the peak era of dubstep (or better called 'brostep', because dubstep actually refers to something actually different to what most are thinking it is), whether it was either people hating it or not minding it. At that point I remember that everyone had to have Facebook and a cellphone (mostly under the form of a touchscreen dumb/semi-smart phone).
It's also around that time I've met people that were really into EDM (mostly of the Drum and Bass/Liquid Funk variety) and it was fun to interact with them.

Things like Stranger Things, Black Panther and Drake were pretty inescapable. Can't say for sure about middle/high school culture tho, it's been a few years since I graduated.

2011-2012 is the quintessential year of the early 2010s imo. 2010-2011 feels too early to be the quintessential early 2010s year to me. Lots of early 2010s trends weren't a thing like the whole tumblr girl aesthetic, popular early 2010s apps still weren't released like Temple Run, Subway Surfers, and Jetpack Joyride, most popular early 2010s games like Minecraft, Skyrim, MW3, Dark Souls, Uncharted 3, Slenderman, and The Walking Dead also still weren't release yet, iconic early 2010s songs like Friday, Gangnam Style, Thrift Shop, and Call Me Maybe still weren't released, iconic early 2010s memes like Ermahgerd, Overly-attached Girlfriend, Bad luck Brian, Scumbag Steve, Harlem Shake, and Grumpy Cat didn't exist yet, and lots of other stuff. Dubstep wasn't even popular yet until Skrillex released First Of The Year in August 2011. Even when you look up early 2010s, basically all of the stuff will be from 2011-2012:

I graduated from High School right around the beginning of the 2017-2018 US school year, so I can't really describe it from my own personal experience. However, it doesn't surprise me to hear that Fortnite would be one of the biggest things which define the 2017/18 school year.

2012 was to me the last year with any 2000s influences. And even then they were minimal at best.
