• The high school, grades 9, 10, 11 and 12, had 537 students while the middle school, grades, 6, 7 and 8 had 339 for a total of 876. So that gives about 110 students per class in the middle school grades and 135 per class in the high school. With 537 total students and them being mostly girls, given the ratio above, there is 198 boys and 339 girls in high school as per fall 2010.
• The numbers at CAPA should not increase much as that school should be at full capacity as per 2010.
