[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for posting the list--good idea to look at the divisions by sports so I get a sense of the size.

I guess 500 seems huge to me. I went to a large school by the standards of where I grew up in a semi-rural/suburban area, with about 300 kids a class, I thought that was big but I knew almost everyone in my class because we had all been in school together all the way through at least 6th grade, many from 1st grade.

I just find it intimidating that my child might go to school with literally two thousand people. [/quote]

Unless you are convinced that your child would not thrive in a larger school I would not rule them out just yet.  My DC went from very small private middle school to a class of 500 and has thrived. DC knows the teachers and vice versa, has taken very challenging classes, has been involved in lots of activities, knows many of the kids in the school, etc. I'm sure DC would have done equally well in a grade of 300 but I don't feel like there was any disadvantage to a grade of 500.  Actual class sizes are going to big regardless of grade size since those are pretty much mandated by the county.[/quote]
