Future[]
The aim for Westinghouse is to have 450 students in grades 9, 10, 11 and 12. Plus another 450 students are expected for grades 6, 7 and 8. So, for the PIAA numbers seeking those in grades 9, 10 and 11, but not 12, there can be 113 kids per year (one quarter of 450). One half would be boys and one half would be girls, 57 per gender. The number of boys in 9, 10, and 11 is 171.
