Factual error: When Troy calls to Gabriela from the rooftop, the clock on the school's facade reads about 7:46, but the sun is almost directly overhead. There's no way it's quarter to eight in the morning.

Continuity mistake: In the cafeteria, just before "I Want It All", when Tiara places the 'reserved' sign on Sharpay's tray, its items change position between shots.

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Kelsi and Ryan sing "Last Chance" in the shots facing Ryan the music sheets overlap, but in the shots facing Kelsi there are spaces between the three sheets.

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: As Jimmy and Donny stand on stage wearing only towels, the way Troy and Chad are holding the boys' clothing differs, depending on the camera angles.

Super Grover

Other mistake: In the scene where Ryan joins Kelsi for early-morning rehearsal, Ryan sits at the piano and starts playing "Just Wanna Be With You." However, the sheet music only shows the melody, not the actual music, and this is the first time Ryan has seen the song, so he has no possible way of knowing how to play it.

Visible crew/equipment: When they are singing "A Night To Remember", with Ryan in the prop house with Sharpay in the bathroom (with the blue and pink background), there is a crew member reflected in the background colour.

dell

Continuity mistake: When Troy and Gabriella are dancing on the rooftop, the potted trees and hanging potted plants are swaying in the wind in some shots but are motionless in other shots.

Continuity mistake: When Gabriella speaks out to everyone in front of the piano, to get them to agree to do the musical, in the first shot her hair is over both of her shoulders, then it is pulled back behind her right shoulder. In the next shot it is hanging in front of both her shoulders again.

Continuity mistake: When Troy surprises Gabriella at Stanford you can see that she has some dirt on her arm. As they continue to dance, you can see that her arm is clean.

Continuity mistake: Troy tells Gabriella he's never been to a dance, much less a prom, but the picture on his bedside table and the picture in Gabriella's locker in High School Musical 2 were supposed to have been taken at Junior Prom.

Continuity mistake: When Sharpay is on the phone with her parents you can see Troy in the background, but he's only supposed to make it for the second act.

Visible crew/equipment: When Jimmie and Donny are talking backstage of the senior year show, you can see a crewmember reflected on the pink picture.

dell

Continuity mistake: After Troy has the chat with Chad on the basketball court, when they're joined by Coach Bolton there is a close-up of Chad and Troy, whose graduation gowns/sashes are neat and tidy. Then after a shot of the coach as he tells them to get back to the stage, in the teenagers' next close-up their graduation gowns/sashes are all mussed up and disheveled.

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Chad asks Taylor to the prom, at the very beginning of the scene, a shot is shown that shows the whole cafeteria. Neither Chad nor Troy can be seen at the top of the railing. In the next shot, however, they are suddenly there.

Continuity mistake: When the students are complaining around the piano, depending on the shot Zeke either has his arms folded or suddenly has his hands in his pockets.

Chad Danforth: So I guess when they hand us that diploma, we're actually done here.
Troy Bolton: What makes you think we're getting diplomas?

Question: When Troy goes to the gym at night he looks at the basketball jerseys (there are 6 I think), one is Troy's, one Chad's and another Jack Bolton's. Who do the others belong to?

Answer: I think that they are just props. The owner of those jerseys has no relevence to the plot.. They might just be randomly picked names.
