What's it like going to one of those big American High Schools with thousands of students?
Were you part of any sports team? Was there really a lot of bullying? Did everyone know each other or were your interactions limited to your own "group"?

>track & field, baseball
>not really. More in junior high.
>people tend to be in groups or cliques, but we had been going to school with each other for a decade so you tend to know most people

>but we had been going to school with each other for a decade
huh? I thought high school was 4 years

ELM, MIDDLE, HS

autist.

>whats it like
Pure unmitigated hell. I truly believe that actual Hell would be less painful than american public high school.
>were you a part of any sports team
Fuck no.
>were there lots of bullying
Fuck yes.
>did everyone know each other or was it all a group
I never had a group.

But those three happen in different facilities, right? So what's the likelihood that the students in a high school attended the same middle school together before that?

As long as the school work wasn’t too difficult and you were nice to everyone it was like pure heaven.

>around 3,000 people
>track and cross country
>no bullying but nobody liked anyone else
>if you don't know somebody don't talk to them without a reason was typically a good rule of thumb

sounds miserable tbh

Not OP. But it depends. For example schools of 3000 may have 3 junior highs and 6 elementary schools as the feeder. But they may have more or less.

The US is organized by locality or neighborhoods. I know other countries have flexibility where high school is determined by aptitude so your limit is the willingness to travel.
