Help finding movie that traumatized as a child

I know there are already alot of threads with people asking for help finding movies, but I've tried everything else.

The movie was about a group of suburban juvenile delinquents. I originally saw it on television as a kid in the late 80's, but the movie definitely had a 70's look to it.

I don't remember much of the plot but I do remember the end where all the parents are having a meeting about all the evil stuff that’s been going on in their neighborhood and the kids lock them up in the school and burn it down.

I remember that all the kids were really creepy, and that it scared the crap out of me as a kid.

Any Guesses?
Thanks

Nope not children of the corn or village of the damned. It wasn't like a horror movie if I can remember, but it was totally suburban kids.

I remember it like it was like a 70's california suburb, the kids looked kind of like the kids in the original bad news bears.

Ok, sounds like Village of the Damned but previous posts rule that out. Also kinda sounds like 'Storm of the Century' but the kids don't burn down anything...

So we can rule out:

Village of the Damned
Children of the Corn [at least 1, I know there are 5 or 6 of them]
Storm of the Century
The Outsiders
The Lost Boys
The Goonies [although it would have been really cool if they had burned something down in this one]

Have you tried the Wes Craven IMDB page? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000127/
He does alot of really farkeled stories...could be him.

Also typed in 'urban kids are evil' under the plot search in IMDB and it came up with http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087480/plotsummary.

THAT movie (the one Azusa mentioned) was seen by my old college roommate's Mom, and SHE was so trauatized by it, she took him out of public school, and put him in this quasi-lockdown Prep school in upstate Massachusetts. Damn you HBO!

It was villiage of the damned - a quote at the end was "A brick wall, I must think of a brick wall".
