No reason why they wouldn't be fine for school. They don't leak, write smoothly, ink doesn't smear.

I think they are as good for school as a ball point pen. For me, I write much neater with this type of pen.

They take some getting used to, but I actually find them more fluid and less scratchy than a lot of pens.

They write well; and are good for note-taking, but there might be a little bleed-through for standard lined paper. I'd test it out. Also, good luck with high school.

I think they would be great for school. They are fun to use, and reliably write the first time, every time. Good luck with high school!

I use them everyday for business meetings and find they are reliable but haven't subjected them to furious note taking in a classroom. The ink is very strong and can bleed through to the reverse side of cheap notebook paper. But, that said, they are a delight to write with so I guess it might be worth trying them out even if you decide to keep them for projects.

Hi Grace! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) They do work well for drawing too, yes! Take a look at this video review and read the reviewers comments as well :

I'm johns wife and can answer for him. We use both these and a permanent fountain pen. These for the colour range and a good quality german one for everyday. We've never had an issue. It's up to what you can afford and what you want to do.

I use them at work where I write notes and my signature 4-5 days a week. They last me about 3 months before the tip stops working on all sides. Then I have a few more weeks of writing if I find the "right side" but usually I get sick of it and just grab a new one. I love them though! I used to buy Sharpie pens until a friend slowly convinced me these were better.

Yes, very well. I bought 2 (or 3, I don't remember) specifically for use with fountain pens and they work great. Nice bright white paper, no bleedthrough or feathering. I use mostly Diamine inks.

These pens are incredibly smooth in both the 0.7 and 1.0mm tip sizes. I use fountain pens frequently, and it is perfectly fair to compare these pens to a good fountain pen nib. If you like fountain pens and need to write on multi-part forms, you will be delighted with the Pentel Energel line.

I am a teacher and use these pens all the time. The students like them, too.

Yes. It's honestly one of the best things I got for myself for my AP studio art class. I used them the whole year and I'm still using them to this day. The pencils are rich in color and are easy to use on top of one another. I would say it depends mostly on whether she will do many projects. If she will I recommend you buy her these. If she will have a project to do every 3 weeks or so get her the 48 case. I hope I helped!

Yes they will. I have one in mine right now. They don't last the longest, but it's better than that plastic scraping feeling from the default nibs.

Well depending on how much you write, they. Last half a month to a month ish. You do need to check and make sure you have a good connection between the cartridge nd the nib area or you will have a nice messy leak (personal experience) but other then that they re great.

They are not super fine - as I like fine nibs myself - for me they weren't too broad though - this is a little subjective so I don't want to mislead you. I was very pleased with these pens. Very nice quality for such a great price no less a bunch of them. They have a very heavy feel as well - something I really like also.

Not really, but really depends on the surface material. They're good pens, except they don't last too long.

Hi Meg! While these might work for some with note taking, my recommendation would be our thin tipped pens or our fiber tipped pens (even the fiber tips with the same wider tip like these here would be more responsive than the rubber of the same diameter). You can see both options here:

Your length will be fine, but these are a heavy 1/16" or somewhere between 1.59 and 2 mm in dia. Your pen is 2.38mm which is equal to 3/32" dia. so they might have a little movement side to side. They would be worth a try just for the long lasting quality of the ink.

This pen reminds me if a fine tip permanent marker, not sure if it would last as long as a ball point pen for daily school writing..

They are big enough I would say yes, just make sure they don't nibble on them. They are good for starting out drawing or writing because they are easy to hold.

Hi Cynthia. At this point I'm still scribbling with them all. But from my estimate, I do believe they will last as long as a normal pen. Hope this helps.
