I don't know about small schools but my school is 5A and has about 3000 students, but the largest school in Texas (Allen high school) is in my district and is between 5 and 8 thousand. (that is a pretty wide range but I heard it and can't remember whether it was five or eight.

They start with 1A(smallest) and go up to 5A(largest). I dont know the sizes of the smaller schools, but 3As have about 600 students, 4As around 1000-1600 and 5A schools have anywhere from 1800 students and up. It's a big state lol

16'2" is a heck of a jump no matter what class. I jumped 15'6" in high school back in 1982. I had 30 kids in my class, 78 in the school. Keep up the good work. What year are you? Where are ya headed for college? It's pretty cool all of the letters you get from all the different colleges. even if you never heard of them. Any big schools?

8'6'' is great. next comes 9' before ya know it. Stay on your pole and finish it. Don't get in a hurry> enjoy the ride. I've got a girl at my school doing the same thing, she likes to go over on her side, or even on her back. hard habit to break.
