How big was your HS graduating class?

[NDallasRuss]

Curious from the sex talk thread and the references that indicate knowing who was/wasn't having sex, I'm curious how big your high school graduating class was?

Mine was ~350 students.
The no-pics wife's class was ~1,500 students.
I went to college with some people from really small schools where the class size was less than 20 kids.

How about yours?

258.

Waukee.

 

[BlIIlken2]

Started with 399 and graduated with 294. Freshman year was ****ing wild 😂 (CR Wash)

CR Metro ended up with a larger than normal graduating class lol.

 

[bunsen82]

198 if I recalled, incoming freshman class was just a shade under 400

 

[StormHawk42]

40 (2008). 2 of them are already dead amazingly.

Holy way too young

 

[BrianNole777]

230 maybe.

Total high school was 1,000 students.

So your class lost ~50% over the four years? Was that mostly people moving away? Kids dropping out? Alien abductions?

Holy shit!! 1500 in one class? That is one big ass school. Hard as hell to make the varsity. Mine was around 350… I think.

 

[JMNSHO]

The truth is that there were 69

I couldn't imagine going to a school that large.

"Plano East's graduating classes are among the largest for high schools not only in the state of Texas, but also in the United States. Plano East's Class of 2005, with 1220 graduates, was the largest high school graduating class in the U.S. that year. The Class of 2014 was also the largest high school graduating class in the U.S., with 1561 graduates."

Their "notable alumni" includes Lance Armstrong, Jimmy King, and Jake Arrieta.

I feel bad for that half kid. Or, I guess, that 1.5 kid - whichever it is.

That’s absolutely insane

 

[WDSMHAWK]

32 or 33. Can't remember which.

 

[Whiskeydeltadeltatango]

That’s absolutely insane

Waukee was the same way. We were 250 and the freshman were 400+.


I would challenge the Waukee class of 04 was the last class where all the kids that graduated actually knew each other.

 

[LunchBox50]

31- Catholic school.

The Catholic school back in Storm Lake had 9 kids in their graduating class last spring.

 

[JWolf74]

Around 330 I believe.

He was born in July the summer we graduated. Have no idea what became of him

Ahh, gotcha. They let the girl walk when she was that pregnant, or did they mail her diploma to her?

 

[LunchBox50]

The no-pics wife's class was ~1,500 students.

I know a few Californians who graduated in giant classes like this.

 

[ButtersHawk]

I think mine was a little over 300. Sioux City East. My parents said theirs (1984) was over 400. No clue what East's enrollment is anymore.

Mailed it.

 

[TennNole17]

800ish

 

[Kinnick.At.Night]

345. I remember thinking that was a lot until I visited family in Clifton Park, NY. The high school my cousins went to had a student count of over 3000!

 

[jellyfish10]

IIRC around 60ish in ‘95. By comparison both of my kids graduated with around 450-480.

The fighting Wordekempers.

[Finance85]

545. Started out with over 1000, but a new high school opened my senior year that split the class, and there was also some attrition

 

[TombItMayConcern]

427

My wife's cousins graduating class was 4. Don't know if her cousin was a class officer.

 

[millah_22]

30

 

[lucas80]

310. I am not sure on how many have died. I think 5. Mostly car accidents, and one who drank himself to death.

 

[billanole]

Out of an enrollment of 2,000 ish, we graduated 512. Godby High, by gosh!! We won the 4A football title the next year!

 

[Scott559]
