OK, I came from a pretty small town in SE South Dakota.

I graduated in '86 from a class of 12 and believe it or not, 7 of us went to school together from Kindergarden!

There was a girl from my wifes hometown that was on Letterman a couple of years ago and she WAS the graduating class of her school!

Now that I have moved, it looks like my daughter will graduate with a class of at least 650! Wow...I can't picture that.

Just wondering about some of you.

 

I was home-schooled though highschool and my graduating class was like 29, it was through the local home-school group. I hear there's already 40+ signed up for next year.

 

Umm....620 somethin. Thats my senior graduating class at my high school but we have 2 other high schools in our district.

 

~360. About ten of us went to Kindergarden together. Our town grew pretty damn fast.

 

about 10 people 4 years ago and 17 in 2004

 

Between 600 and 700...it's been a really long time so my memory is not too clear.

 

476, I graduated last june. (2004)

 

like a 120 somthin.. next year :P ...... but in my old school it would have been a class of 6

 

175 or so....

My highschool class had 60 people in it, 1986. When I started school there where 6 people in my class and the classes ahead and behind only had 3. The really big class (three years ahead - two of them where my brothers) had 12 students. My grade school had 6 rooms total, four classrooms, an office and a library. Closed it down in 1980 and was "consolidated" into a larger school district. All thats left standing today is the gym.

ACLU would have had a stroke, the acting principal was a Catholic priest and two of the teachers where nuns - and it was a public school. Holloween was a religous holiday and school was cancelled for Good Friday. Try that today and you might end up in prison.

 

I'm a Junior in high school and my class has about 400 students. And I'm the only Ford Truck guy of the bunch

 

~120 In '00

 

About 20 or so. The sad thing is my school doesn't even exist anymore thanks to consolidation. I went to a combined school, k-12, with about 300 total students. We used to have local community schools throughout the county, with small classes and everyone knew everyone else (and even more important, knew each others' parents!). Then about 15 years ago the push was on to consolidate all the schools in the county into one huge school, supposedly to provide better academics for the students. In actuality the classes got enormous and the same teachers were used (so no better academically- probably worse), many students now had to ride the bus for a super long time to get to the school, and students and parents pretty much lost the personal connection with other students. But hey! They got a football team in a higher division now! Which pretty much was what it was all about in the first place. (can you see I'm a little upset by this whole thing?
I think kids do better in smaller, more personal settings-- you actually have more feeling of community.

 

76 in '78. A friend who grew up in Washington state was the top half of his graduating class.
