Sindy- the difference is you are still a fan...you didn"]

mother of god.....

 

 

thats a lot of students.

Yeah, our high school was one of the largest, population wise, in the U.S.

 

(At least, that's what they told us)

Mine had about 500.....

 

 

 

Where I did my undergrad work didnt even have that many students.....

 

 

 

Thats just overcrowding at its best....

 

 

 

How many people were in yall's classes? 80?

Our graduating class had over 1,000 by itself :D

However, most classes were around 40-50 students, since I was in Gifted it was somewhat less though.

 

The only class that was really packed was in 11th grade, American History, 200+ students in an auditorium.

Info on G. Holmes Braddock Senior High School. Yeah, our high school is one of the reasons that overcrowding became such a huge issue down here...Also, Max was in a class his Junior Year (american history) which was held in the school's auditorium and had more that 120 students in the class....Go figure...

 

Population in 1999-2000 (my senior year) was at about 5,880

Population in 2001-02 was at about 4,858 and that's with students leaving to a new high school.

 

The average school size ranges from a low of 402.7 pupils (Puerto Rico Department of Education) to a high of 1,277.9 (Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, Texas) for these districts. The largest school in these districts, and also the largest school in the United States, is the 5,380-student G. Holmes Braddock Senior High School in Dade County School District, Florida

My smallest class was my AP Spanish class with over 40 students...Mind you smallest...(keyword)

 

Largest would have had to be my Biology/Chemistry/Physics (Gifted Honors) with about 50...

 

Yeah, and that's because we were in the "Gifted" program which was designed to have smaller classes....uh huh, sure..

 

About how it was handled, well securities every where ...ten million APs, and just a very well organized system and I believe that teacher in the auditorium had assistants...but that wouldn't stop those cheaters...

 

Like one of the articles I posted...we were ranked one of the safest schools in the U.S.

 

Go figure.
