[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The schools in Arlington are not really that large. Where are you moving from? [/quote] 600 to 700 kids in a class is huge. I grew up with 100 students in my class and we were a big school at the time. [/quote] This is...very strange. I went to a public high school in Massachusetts that had about 120 kids per class, so just under 500 students total. It was considered a very small high school. My kids--one an athlete, one not--had good experiences at APS high schools.[/quote] Not strange at all. While many public high schools in suburban areas outside major cities often exceed 1,000 to 2,000 students, the median size across the US is much lower. Average public school enrollment for high schools grades 9-12 is about 520 students. [/quote]
