Ida Stricker (Middle School: The Worst Years Of My Life)

Vice Principal Ida Stricker (simply known as Ida Stricker) is the secondary antagonist of the 2016 comedy film, Middle School: The Worst Years Of My Life.
She was the former vice principal of Hills Village Middle School, the right-hand woman of Principal Ken Dwight, and another of Rafe Khatchadorian's biggest enemies.
She was portrayed by Retta in her first villainous role.
Just like her boss, she is uncaring and tyrannical, helping Dwight run the school as if it were a prison. She enforces Dwight's code of conduct throughout the school, as it is filled with rules that sucks the fun out of the school. A new student named Rafe Khatchadorian (the protagonist of the film) already gets on Dwight's bad side when he draws an insulting picture of Dwight as a zombie in his notebook during an assembly that gets seen by other students. As a student named Dani takes the notebook and laughs at the drawing, Stricker angrily orders Dani to hand over the notebook and gives it to Dwight, who destroys it by dumping it into a bucket of acid afterwards.
Upset by this turn of events, Rafe decides to break the rules of Dwight's code of conduct in retaliation, even subjecting Stricker into one of his pranks (filling up one of the school closets with balls). During the time, Stricker helps Dwight on illegally cutting off the remedial class (led by Rafe's favorite teacher Mr. Teller) from the upcoming test called B.L.A.A.R., as he wants to improve the average test scores to get a bonus from the school district. To that end, Dwight frames the students of the remedial class for the pranks before suspending them and firing Mr. Teller. Unwilling to let his class take the fall, Rafe is forced to come forward that he's the one responsible for the pranks, resulting his expulsion. This leaves Rafe in trouble with his family, especially with his mother's boyfriend Carl (who suggests sending Rafe to a military school).
Eventually, Rafe's girlfriend Jeanne Galletta found out that this whole turn of events was to cover up Dwight's actions of cutting off the remedial class from taking B.L.A.A.R. this whole time, having secretly recorded Dwight coercing the local janitor Gus in putting the evidence in the students' lockers to frame them for the pranks. As such, Mr. Teller and the other suspended students agree to help Rafe expose Dwight and Stricker, even Gus is willing to tag along as he had enough of Dwight's behavior. The next day, as the entire school is about to take the B.L.A.A.R., Rafe and his classmates interrupted several procedures to expose Dwight's deceitfulness, much to Stricker's surprise and shock. Just as Rafe got hold of Jeanne's tape detailing Dwight's crimes, Dwight orders Stricker to catch Rafe, but she fails just as Dwight uses to a stolen bike to catch up to Rafe, running over Stricker in the process. Just as Dwight has finally caught Rafe on his tracks, Mr. Teller arrives with the local superintendent Hwang, who received a formal compliant from Mr. Teller about the events. Rafe then presents Hwang with the tape exposing Dwight and Stricker's crimes. After the tape is viewed, Hwang fires both Dwight and Stricker from their respective positions.
Stricker is last seen helping out Dwight in packing up his things as Hwang plans to have them prosecuted for their crimes in court. It is implied that Stricker will face a sentence in prison along with Dwight for their crimes.
