My school's more crowded. Grades 7-12, an exam school, 30 or so classes consisting of over 30 students in each class for each grade, and about 14 honors classes for each grade except 7th. About maybe 1300 or 1400 students in my school.

HA! 1775 students in my school, and we're only grades 9-12. The hallways are PACKED! Pocket often turns into a mouse to sit on my shoulder but doesn't even feel safe there.

Well, my school does have to compete with BLS (Boston Latin School). But, I'm just comfortable knowing that BLA's (Boston Latin Academy) test scores are higher. Go BLA!

Yes, but BLS is one of, if not the most prominent exam schools in the country. BLA is right up there, too.
EDIT: and they're both PUBLIC schools.

Woah, why is your school so popular Cat & SNLObsess? Because no one wants to break up the best football team in the state, plus its a minority majority school, and if they broke it up it would end up being a rivalry between the 'white' and the 'mexican' schools, and thats not cool. I say they break it up into a 9-10 school and an 11-12 school, to keep a balance. No private schools in a farming community....'cept maybe the Catholic private schools, but those only have like 6 people per class. ;;

University Admissions Index, it's only needed in my state, & you could get 100 in all your exams & not a 100 uai because it's made up of all the assesment marks you get throughout year 12
EDIT: wow! We don't have problems like that over here.... the joy of being on an island country

My school's large because I live in Southern Ontario. My city, Mississauga, is part of Canada's "Golden Horseshoe" that makes up approximately 22% of the nation's population - and it's small! We have a lot of crowded high schools.

Oh. Like the MCAS. (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) I got a perfect score on my Grade 8 math MCAS.
EDIT: I think it's time to get back to the topic...

Oh. Like the MCAS. (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) I got a perfect score on my Grade 8 math MCAS. errrr, not really. It's more a major exam at the end of all schooling. They make it really hard so over here they start preparing you for it in year 9. It'd be far bigger than any exam you do in school untill final exams. They have big security mesures for it & no-one except the writers of the exam are allowed to know what's in it. It's so important because everyone in my state have to do it & there is no distinction between private & state schools in the exam.

Um.. yeah, that's like the MCAS, except that it's taken in different forms in grades, I believe, 4th,7th, and 10th. I checked up on the # of students, and I found out that a couple of years ago it had over 1700, but recently it dropped to about 1500.

Hmm, I would guess the test he is refering to might be a bit harder, possibly what he is refering to is more like a HUGE final. Of course, I could be completly wrong.
