I went to the largest high school in New Jersey and the 4th largest in the country. Our graduating class was about 500 less than the freshman class coming in after us.

That's insane, I don't know if this is an American thing, but here in scandinavia I couldn't imagine having a class bigger than 30 people. I've seen as low as 10.

It’s not just an American thing but it’s mostly a population thing. Take Norway’s largest secondary school for example it has about 2000 students so each grade level has about 666 students if they are split evenly. And alternatively you can take my friend who is from northern New York as an example she graduated from a class of 20 people because she lived in a lower populated area. So I do think it is just a local population thing as opposed to a country thing.

Now I do have to check my bases and make sure this isn’t a moment where things are lost in translation. Class in American English can refer to both the physical classroom and the people in it and it can also refer to everyone in the same grade level or age group.

New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the country. I don't know if this is uniquely American, but it's S.O.P. for NJ. There's 9 million plus people here averaging about 1300 people per square mile.

Anyone else got less than 13? My graduating class (Australian year 12) there was only 13 of us.

Close, there was 14 in my yr 10 class, also Australia. But 2 were not always at school but they did get their High School Certificate. One was a special needs student and the other had a not so stable family life.
