[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Robinson, Lake Braddock, and Alexandria are all around 4,000 in student enrollment. But, with grades 7-12 the other two schools have around 660 students per grade whereas ACHS has 1,000 per grade. That indeed makes a difference![/quote] Right, as I noted. But why does a broader age distribution make a 4000-student school better than one with a tighter age grouping? Aside from the sports team issues noted above, why does 4000 9-12 kids = bad but 4000 7-12 kids = okay?[/quote] Each grade likely has smaller classes, more opportunities for extracurriculares, etc. 7th graders likely aren’t going to compete with 12th graders to get into the same classes, sports or activities. There are times for sure but having less students per raid certainly makes a difference.[/quote]
