Small high schools
 
Who else went to a very small high school?

I graduated with 28 people!

40! We were an International Baccalaureate school, which explains that.

Funny, I have only spoken to about 5 since HS graduation.

I went to a small Independent school and graduated with a class of 37 but I hear now the school is big, we have classes of 50 now;)

sairose 04-26-2004 09:51 AM

Yeah 28 was one of the bigger graduating classes at my school. It's a really small rural Arkansas school where preschool-senior high are all on the same campus, and jr high/sr high are in the same building.

I went to a private school where my class size was 80. This is considered VERY small compared to the numbers in the area public schools.

I went to a pretty small high school - we had 400 grades 7-12, but I was in the "baby boom" class - I graduated with 90-some.

However, one of my friends from college was in a graduating class of 7 :)

I went to a small, private school that had Pre-K through 12th grade. There were only about 500 students in the entire school and my graduating class was 53.

I think I had about 450-500 people at my school, and I graduated with just over 100 ppl in my class.

I loved going to a small school. Although it seemed to get very "gossipy" at times, but it was a nice, comfy size. :)

Yeah, I agree. :) It was fun knowing everyone. The disadvantage though, was the lack of resources. Our library was horribly outdated. The band only had 10 members. The only sports teams were basketball and baseball/softball. Honestly, coming to ASU was a refreshing change.

My graduating class totaled 90 girls. From Junior Kindergarten to the 12th grade, Sacred Hearts Academy had an enrollment of 1000.

Seven years after I graduated I hear each senior class numbers approximately 120 girls.

I don't know where you are from...but we have a Sacred Heart here in Louisville, KY......But it is apart of other schools and they are together called Ursuline Campus.

Wow. How interesting! :) My school is located in Honolulu, HI and is part of the Society of Jesus and Mary, which is a part of the Marianst order (if I'm not mistaken). We hold the distinction of being one the oldest Catholic school for girls in the state! :D

I was lucky in that sense. My band had about 100 people total. We had all of the regular sports, which were all very well funded. Our community was very supportive.

I went to a small private school from 7th to 12th grades. There were 30 in my graduating class. That was bigger than previous years because another small private school in the area closed and several of their students enrolled at my school. My school was from K to 12 when I was there, but they started pre-K after I graduated.

ISUKappa 04-30-2004 10:14 AM

There were about 425 in my high school and about 100 in my graduating class. And that was with a consolidation plan with a town about 15 minutes away.

Mr. ISUKappa graduated in a class of 30 and that was also in a consolidation plan!

jhujenn 04-30-2004 10:48 AM

There were 98 people in my graduating class and this was higher than most because everyone eligible to graduate that year did.

The school district covered the entire northern part of the county and had a full complement of sports. The band situation was just getting started again. The community is very supportive of the athletic teams basically because there is nothing else to do. Woohoo southern Indiana.

Angelicqt716 08-13-2004 03:48 AM

i graduated with 88 people, was suppose to be 89 but one guy dropped out 2 months before graduation. we had two valedictorians, 3 salutatorians, and about 20 of us graduated with some kind of honors. i dont really like a small class, we all knew everything about each other and most of us grew up with each other:(

DawnDZ 08-13-2004 01:18 PM

I graduated with about 100. Thats really small compared to alot of the private and public schools in DC and MD.

emleepc 08-13-2004 01:27 PM

I graduated with 45 people from a private school that had k4-12th grade....and at the time, my class was the biggest graduating class the school ever had. I liked the school, up until my senior year---then there were problems. But I did very well there.....but college was a welcome change for me, and only about 5 people from my school went to UNA, so meeting new people was required.....which i would've done anyway cause i was sick of the kids I hade gong to school with since the first grade.....

Kevin 08-13-2004 05:14 PM

There were about 500 overall in the HS I went to for my first 3 years.

PoohsHoneyBee 08-13-2004 05:38 PM

my roommate was valedictorian at her high school
she was #1 of 19 graduates

?? Please explain.

(I went to an average sized highschool, but if you look at those of us why went to a university after, it was down to like 50 of us from each grade (1500 in the school))

alphaiota 08-13-2004 09:01 PM

I graduated high school w/30 people. Population of my hometown is 900!!!

Ginger 08-16-2004 01:03 PM

A consolidation high school (or a "united" high school) are schools that draw from a number of districts. For example, there was a united high school in a town near mine... the students came up from various elementary schools in different towns. So rather than having 10 high schools with only 30 kids at each, you have a bigger high school (in a centralized location, often up to a 30-45 minute drive) of 300 kids.

How did you perform with only 10 members? That sounds like more of a chamber orchestra than a band. I'm not being snide, I truly am curious!

GeekyPenguin 08-16-2004 11:52 PM

I went to a United high school but it wasn't small at all. :)

Shima-Mizu 08-17-2004 12:15 AM

I graduated from a class that had 104 people... and we were one of the biggest grades in a while, lol. 88 people graduated from there this year.
