I’m kind of curious as to what size high schools people went to.

For me it was somewhere around 160.

Idonteven · 14th Apr 2011, 06:31 PM

1500 students in total I think, although its since had a lot of expansion done to it.

Saikou7 · 14th Apr 2011, 06:35 PM

~250 total I think...

The school I'm switching to next year is even smaller ~150
I went to really large elementary and middle schools. I like smaller better, though.

**Eric** · 14th Apr 2011, 06:38 PM

Uhhh, about 500-600 hundred-ish I think.

RaRa · 14th Apr 2011, 06:38 PM

Relatively small private school where everyone was armo.

Every.Single.One.

U N Owen · 14th Apr 2011, 06:43 PM

My graduating class is about 420.

Pepsi · 14th Apr 2011, 07:12 PM

I went to two different high schools. My first school had over 4,000 students in the entire student body and about 1000 for each grade. My second school had about 2,500 if I remember correctly. I'm not sure how many were in my graduating class but I'd guess around 600.

Allegro molto · 14th Apr 2011, 07:13 PM

Let's see...my graduating class was about 320...juniors were about 500.....sophomores were about 700-750...and there were about 800 freshman (freshman have their own separate campus because they are so large)

14th Apr 2011, 07:16 PM

Around 200 in my graduating class.

1200 students in all. The Freshman and Junior classes are giant.

Rikudo · 14th Apr 2011, 07:16 PM

About 500 kids in every grade and I think around 150 some kids in my grade.

Nodnarb · 14th Apr 2011, 07:24 PM

My graduating class was the largest in school history. I think it was 168. There were 550-600 total kids.

TheRoof · 14th Apr 2011, 07:33 PM

44 total for our senior class. i think the total was less than 200 (middle school and high school combined)

**TheEdend** · 14th Apr 2011, 07:51 PM

I went to a magnet school so only about 600 kids. Freaking miss that place haha

**Maddy** · 14th Apr 2011, 07:52 PM

Probably about 250 in my graduating class. My school was preschool through year 12 with about 3000 students in total.

IsItSo · 14th Apr 2011, 07:54 PM

2700 students in four grades.

GhostDog · 14th Apr 2011, 09:27 PM

My graduating class was originally supposed to be something like 600+, but it shrunk as people dropped out (thereby infuriating me, because that meant the top 10% kept getting smaller and the top kids weren't getting any dumber).

I thought it was a pretty big school. Then I saw a marching band from a high school about 30 minutes north of us. I think there was something like 500 kids in the marching band. Their show was like watching a beehive wiggle about. Kids probably didn't have room to move more than 4 paces in any direction without hitting somebody.

otc877 · 14th Apr 2011, 09:34 PM

My graduating class was ~750

Kidd · 14th Apr 2011, 09:48 PM

There were exactly 182 students in my graduating class and maybe 600 students total at the high school, and another 500 in the middle school.

MusicIsLife · 14th Apr 2011, 09:53 PM

130 in my year, 900 in the whole school by the time i graduated.

Pseudojim · 14th Apr 2011, 10:56 PM

152 in mine... 102 guys, 50 girls >.<
