Way more, there were probably 500 alone just in one grade let alone the whole school.

My Catholic HS had just under 500. We had about 120 in my class in 1993. I loved it.

My graduating class alone was 497 students, and that was the least amount of students per grade. It was a NYC public high school. Loved every minute and I miss those innocent days!

I went to 4 different high schools. I don’t know how many they had. Probably at least 3 of them had more than 500, because one was a new school, and the other had 3 stories.

1965, my graduating class of Seniors was 650, 10th-11th grades added another 700+ each.
And no guards, fences, cameras, key-cards or other “protections”. In the middle of suburbia and over 12 miles from home.

My school had roughly 1500 kids at the time, 300+ per class. And we had 3 high schools. Somewhere around 4,000 kids in high school at a time and about 900-1,000 graduated per year.

But we knew everyone in the high school.

I think that would have been nice. I’m an introvert, who had just a few close friends.

In retrospect it was good. Small town life.

When graduated high school, I had about 450 in my class and 1600 or so total in the school.

No, I didn't know everyone. On graduation day, there were people who walked that I had never seen or heard of in my entire life.

Mine was just over 500 total students with 505 when I graduated 8 years ago. Now it’s more like 550. I had ~125 in my class.

Wow. Seems too big. Was it too big?

I liked it, definitely a different experience though. About as diverse of a school you could possibly get. 25% white, 25% black, 40% Hispanic with students from about 120 different countries.

Glad it went well.

My kids went to a much smaller school (1800) but similarly diverse. It was the IB magnet and many faculty sent their kids there. 40% black, 25% white, 10% Hispanic, 25% other — Asian, Indian, etc. all over.
