<p>So I saw my updated rank today, and I went from 1/206 to 1/185!</p>
<p>My class has dropped 21 people since last June. That's about 1 per week of 1st semester!</p>
<p>I wonder where those twenty-one people went. Did they drop out, go to a different district, get pregnant, or what?</p>
<p>Any other schools with this problem?</p>
<p>i got you beat. going into freshman year, my class had almost 1000 kids, and now going into second semester of junior year were at about 485. </p>
<p>granted my school has a ridiculous dropout/retention rate so meh.</p>
<p>My class is 83 people. :( If we lose any more students, we'll barely be a class anymore. </p>
<p>...And yet somehow...we win everything. Hm. </p>
<p>Worst thing is I'm 5/83 because the Gov school kids have more weight than me. </p>
<p>We don't get a lot of drop outs or failures (well...), but I guess over the years, we've thinned out a bit.</p>
<p>I think we were at about 104 at one time, back in...Freshman year maybe? Maybe back in 8th. Not sure.</p>
<p>But my class is tiny. At least yours isn't that tiny.</p>
<p>Wow lol, it takes us a whole year to get rid of that many people.</p>
<p>My class went down too. Last year, I was 1/56, and now I'm 1/51. I don't really know why that is, unless they're not counting students who attend the career center. I don't know of any who dropped out or changed schools.</p>
<p>"Down to 185..." Heh, that's about 2.4 times the size of my class.</p>
<p>Yeah, we lost... hmm... forty-five people in five years? Not a lot, but a pretty large percentage.</p>
<p>Our freshman class had almost a thousand and now we have somewhere in the mid 800-s (most of them drop-outs) in sophomore year. But we combine with another school for junior and senior year so my class will probably be 1600~ next year.</p>
<p>Currently there are 52 kids in my class (soph). And in our whole school......</p>
<p>.

<p>Mine's about the same. But it's public. It has its advantages and its disadvantages. Mostly disadvantages.</p>
<p>Freshmen year we came in with 350 kids in our class, its mid sophomore year and so far we are at 308. No wonder there aren't that many seniors, people keep dropping like flies.</p>
<p>My freshman class started out with over 700 students. Now we are down to 410 (junior year). I expect it to go down a lot more because the senior class is usually about 250-300 by the time graduation rolls around. The drop-out rate is unbelievably high at my school.</p>
<p>My freshman class started out with 1,400 students. </p>
<p>The senior year started out with 902.</p>
<p>We are now down to 753. </p>
<p>Oh, the joys of public school :)</p>
<p>book_worm, maybe those kids also got held back and now are considered in a different class.</p>
<p>Our class was one of the largest ever when we entered in 7th grade (6 yr HS). A lot of kids always drop out the first and second year, because they can't handle the rigor. Now, kids drop out pretty slowly. We're still a big class with 349 students. We've lost 2 since the beginning of the year. We probably won't lose any more than 10 additional students before graduation (I'm a junior).</p>
<p>aren't you lucky....</p>
<p>haha my graduating class had 1200 people in freshman year, and now in senior year there are 1300 people in my class haha the graduation rate is like 99.8% and its a public school</p>
<p>we started with 478 or something like that and we are now down to like 450</p>
<p>Opposite for me.. mine went wayy up. 3 years ago, another school in our town got destroyed by a tornado, so all the kids that were in the class at that school joined ours, brining us from 43 to 172.</p>
<p>Wow everyone has such small class sizes except cubfan! I have 650ish in mine.</p>
<p>I have 48!</p>
