<p>I attend a small suburban high school as well. There are generally ~200 people per grade and the majority come from affluent families. Basically picture a small-ish high school with limited AP courses, generally high SAT scores + college acceptances, and a mass of spoiled rich kids and you have my school.</p>
<p>Ha. LOL at all of your definitions of small schools! Mine not only is a middle-high school blend (6-12), it boasts only about 95 students. My class (2011) has the majority - 33, and our counselor is stressed out. :D</p>
<p>Let’s see, it’s a private school in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. Truth be told, we’d probably bore the hell out of the faculty at other schools. The most trouble we get into, for the most part, is coming to school out of dress code on formal dress days. Good academics with basic AP offerings (U.S. Government, U.S. History, English Literature, Spanish, French, Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and the choice of independent study (me!!!). Sends some grads to top schools; we get better every year with that (UVa and GWU last year; Brown ED acceptance this year), but mostly kids are average. Homogeneous population (pretty much everyone here is black), but kids are classy.</p>
<p>Let’s see… public school about 1300 students, small metro area (group of 5 neighboring cities totaling 300,000+ people), mostly preppy white and asian students, probably best academic public school in the area but nothing near the good schools in this forum, used to have a lot more AP courses but lack of interest has reduced the number to 7 or 8, most students stay in state but the top 10-15 will go to schools such as WUSTL, UChicago, and Northwestern, athletics are nothing to write home about, but the school 5 miles away from us is the best in state in about every sport.</p>
