I have not seen any of the other Poison Ivy movies, but I know the premise had to do with a young seductress, along the lines of Amy Fisher. This movie, which I think would be part four, doesn't really have much to do with that formula, although they do end up putting in a scene between a student and a teacher.
This episode is more like the Skulls series--a secret society that sucks in an innocent country girl and draws her into a world of manipulation. She is attending a fancy private school, which she is only able to do because she had the talent to be awarded a scholarship. The majority of the kids she interacts with are there because they have money, and bit by bit, she is distracted from her studies until she is caught up in their world of deceit.
What I didn't like about this movie is that everything was completely formulaic--I had seen it all before, and knew where it was all going. In addition, the resolution was completely ridiculous--the girl gets a taped confession that supposedly brings down the entire infrastructure of the secret society. We are hardly supposed to question how her flimsy evidence would hold up against a multi-million dollar defense team that the families would certainly bring against her.
So the country girl ends up going back to her boyfriend to help him build his dream home on their multi-acre rural paradise. My vote is a three out of ten. It's one of those movies that could only appeal to kids who are too young for the subject matter, because anyone older than early teens already knows what's going to happen anyway.
