Mind blowing facts, now with 100% more maps

ha Vontaze Burfict Pelican fucking nerds

 

My freshman class started with like 750 kids and we graduated around 450.

 

I saw where the government has been trumpeting rising grad rates, but they grossly inflate the numbers of students who leave the system for home schooling to remove them from the calculations.

 

Sweet Jesus. Only schools in the hood around here are even close to that.

I went to a good public HS outside Atlanta, and probably 4 kids dropped out from 450.

 

We had an above average AP program and plenty of kids that went to great schools. But there was basically two schools within one. And that other school was one of the worst scoring bunches in the state on the standardized test stuff.

 

my high school class had like 600 kids.

 

Ok

 

I think I started as a freshman with 850 and graduated with 460.

 

Theres like 15 new districts like that since you've been there probably. Insane money going into some of these areas, and places like the woodlands have only gotten more high profile.

 

1300 kids in my graduating class. Graduated 99% of everyone.

 

Plano right? You buttfucks should be forced to split up even more

 

Even worse. Allen lol at least plano had more than 1 school

 

Lol that's right. You seen McKinneys new plans?

 

haha yeah. I guess it was only a matter of time before someone built a bigger one. I am assuming that its for their whole district to share though. Can't believe they would pay 63 mil for 12,000 seats tho. 6000 less than our spot for more money. Shit must be deluxe

 

Connecticut is worst at Breast Cancer? What does that mean?

 

And my high school class started with ~630 and graduated 254. Southside of Tallahassee... IB School... IB Class went from like 70 to 63 (but none dropped out, just transferred schools)

 

I can't imagine having 1300 people in my class or the size of the school that can house 3 or 4 grades that size

 

Hoover used to be like twice that until Spain Park was created. And they were competing against schools with classes of 300-500.

 

Lol I graduated with 46

 

30 in my class. But all graduated, amazingly.

 

Went from ~1200 my freshman year to 335 graduating. Hooray LAUSD.

 

~2500 people in a single grade? No way. That can't be right

 

Yeah Hoover was at like 4K students when they built Spain Park.

 

There are several high schools in Florida around the 4500 mark right now.

 

my high school had 600 kids. Keep in mind that dutch high schools are 6 years as it's 6-6 not 4-4-4

 

Most American schools are actually 5(or 6)-3-4

 

The schools I went to are now k-6 (elementary), 7-8 (junior high), 9 (freshman only, but on the same campus as high school), 10-12 (high school).

Weird

 

I did some work at Gardendale this spring and they do something similar to this with their middle school (sixth in their own building, 7-8 in the main building). The reasoning was never really explained to me.

 

I believe new schools in my city can only be built for the size of the current student population plus like 10%. So if you have 1,000 students currently at your school, then you can build a school for 1,100. You can't build the school for expected growth or something like that because even though it's projected, it's uncertain.

My schools used to be k-5, 6-9, 9-12. But the student population outgrew the capacity of the current schools so they built a freshman building and moved 6th graders back to a larger elementary school which was just built.

 

my bad

 

Y'all are making me sad. When I was in school, my town had 2 grade schools for K-5. Then 6-8 was at the junior high and 9-12 was at the high school. 4 total buildings. Now they go K-6 in one building and 7-12 in the other. Rural America is dying.

 

Freshmen year we had 102 or 103, can't remember. Graduated 69.

 

in the school or in a class? I cannot imagine a school having 5000 students in a graduating class

 

Really? I thought most American schools were

Elementary: K-6
Middle/Junior High: 7-8
High: 9-12

 

Haven't heard of many schools that still include 6th grade in elementary. And two grades in a middle school seems almost pointless.

 

My sisters high school had certain classes in trailers because they didn't have enough room in the building. Always thought that was weird.

 

I think the majority are K-5, 6-8, 9-12

But not the vast majority.

 

Super common in Florida (and other areas of massive population growth) because building size can't keep up with demographic shifts.

 

All the Catholic schools we went to were K-8, 9-12. Went to K,1,&2 at at K-12 school in bumfuck, Arkansas, though.

 

I went to k-6 (elementary), 7-8 (middle), 9th as a separate school and then 10-12 at the high school

 

Our middle schools were 6-8. But everything else looks right
