How small was your graduating class?

Small town thread got me wondering who else went to a small school. So how big was your high school graduating class. Mine was 7 including me.

24 in upstate NY. 18 of us were in the same pre-K graduation picture too. 14 years sitting next to the same kids lets you know them pretty well...

I was in a fairly affluent area that was growing older rapdily.

My graduating class was 400 but the Junior class that year was about 300, Sophomore about 200, and Freshman about 100. The year after the us Seniors left they closed off about half the school and stopped heating and cooling it. There was talk of renting out that part and the rear parking lot as office space. Compared to taking many of my Freshman and Sophomore classes in expansion trailers parked behind the school, that was quite a change.

About 140. Still the largest class to ever grace the halls of LHS.

And I go on a weekend golf trip with 20 - 24 of the guys I graduated with each and every year. Our next one is next weekend.

There are absolutely no immature drunken shenanigans that happen on that trip...

And I'll see at least 50 of my classmates this evening at the football game. Hardly anyone escapes The 'Burg...

171 but this was a Catholic high school back East (the same town Mike Forte's shop is located)

Our town had 3 other high schools, each with about 700 kids in each graduating class.

Class of '65 Horace Mann HS. An amazing school. More of a prep school than a public school back then. Very affluent. (my family wasn't)
This was before busing and integration, so we had all the best teachers and didn't have to share. i.e. my sophomore English teacher was a PhD from the University of Chicago. Rode the train to our school every day.

The school closed in 2004 after crack-head thugs and white flight decimated the town.

I wouldn't go there now in an armored personnel carrier.

My 30 year reunion is next year ( graduated in 1983).

School was a junior/senior (unlike most others at the time) which covered grades 8 through 12. Total for the school was around 600. 71 graduates.

255. When I graduated there were only 4 traffic lights (green / yellow / red) lights in the town where I went to high school. The city I lived in was across the river and had 1 flashing red light, 1 post office, 3 gas stations and a flea market and that was it. It has grown quite a bit since then.
