I also read recently that the trend is turning towards smaller high schools.
My daughter�s school is now 100 years old! (The girls whine about all the stairs, but do have nice, strong legs-which is good because they all wear rather short, plaid skirts.)
The entire student population is only 400. We love the size because dd has gotten to know the entire freshman class, as well as, many students from different grades by name already. She has had the opportunity to become involved in academic extras, such as mock trial team, that she probably wouldn�t have made until junior year at a larger school.
