Tropes used in Casper's Scare School include:
- Academy of Adventure
- Anime Hair
- Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad: Alder and Dash take this very literally. They once punished Casper for giving a gift to one of the teachers, not because it could be considered a bribe, but because it was a nice thing to do.
- Blindfolded Vision: Cappy. In fact, when he has his blindness taken away he loses all sense of direction.
- Blond Guys Are Evil: Played straight with Norman [the skater], but averted with Jimmy
- Bumbling Dad: Jimmy's dad.
- Deadpan Snarker: Mantha
- Expy: Jimmy is similar to Chris from Casper: A Spirited Beginning. Due to both being "experts" in the supernatural.
- Extranormal Institute
- Five-Man Band:
- The Hero: Casper
- The Lancer: Ra
- The Smart Guy: Mantha
- The Big Guy: Wolfie
- The Chick (Team Fleshie): Jimmy
- A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted: Ra in "Rich Kid Ra", however he was already rich to begin with until an archaeologist raided his family's tomb.
- Freudian Trio:
- Casper (Superego)
- Mantha (Ego)
- Ra (Id)
- Hair of Gold: Jimmy and skater Norman's sister Bethica
- Humanity Ensues: In one episode, Wolfie was turned into a "fleshie", or human.
- Instant Fanclub: Ra in "The Ra-Minator", "Rich Kid Ra", and "Wiz Kid Ra".
- Jerkass: Alder and Dash; Thatch to a lesser extent
- Kids Are Cruel
- Lawful Stupid: Alder and Dash
- Lighter and Softer: The Ghostly Trio, so much that they actually care about Casper. Of course they still love to scare humans.
- Lovable Alpha Bitches: Mickey and Monaco
- Monster Mash
- Muggles
- Mythology Gag: Deedstown shares the same name as the town from Casper: A Spirited Beginning.
- Name's the Same: Two bullies with the same name, "Norman". One has brown hair in a mullet hairstyle, and the other is a blond skater in a beanie and red hoodie.
- Nice Guy: Casper
- Maybe too nice for his own good.
- Nurse with Good Intentions: The school nurse seems to be under the impression that her sadistic methods will cure her patients rather than making them worse.
- One Steve Limit: In a possibly accidental aversion, Jimmy has had two completely different bullies in different episodes, both named Norman.
- Only Six Faces: A lot of humans look basically the same, based on the same generic model. The monsters are mostly a Cast of Snowflakes.
- Our Monsters Are Different: Many of the creatures that would normally be former fleshies were never fleshies. Mantha was always a zombie, Ra was always a mummy, etc. The only characters that were confirmed to be formerly human were Fly Boy and his father.
- However, in the episode "Scare Day", after Mantha wins a scaring competition, she mentions this is the best day of her afterlife. This suggests she too was once a human, died, and then became a zombie.
- Our Vampires Are Different: Thatch isn't harmed by sunlight and doesn't have to drink blood to survive.
- Our Werewolves Are Different: Wolfie is perpetually a werewolf. When there's a full moon he turns into a bigger werewolf and loses all control.
- Our Zombies Are Different: Mantha is smart and agile. The walking slowly while chanting "Braaains..." routine is just a scare tactic zombies use. And though she does eat brains, it's not all she eats.
- Secret Keeper: Jimmy
- She's Not My Girlfriend: In "Possessed", one of the Normans called Mantha Casper's girlfriend.
