Small high schools

[jhujenn]

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.

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

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

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.....

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

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!

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

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.
