Re: School Size vs. Team Size
 

Um, I suppose for 1261, it's more interesting to look at data spanning two seasons.

In 2010:
Members: ~20
Mentors:~5
Student Body: ~3500

This season so far:
Members: ~50
Mentors:~5 + About 5-10 parents that have helped out.
Student Body: ~3500

It'll be interesting to see how many of these kids maintain interest and carry on their determination and hardwork into the FRC season. Many of them stayed on because they were working with a small group in VRC, but they'll be in for a bit of a learning curve when the team goes into FRC.

Student Members: ~30, maybe half really active
Mentors: 20, maybe 12 active. 3 are primarily NEMs, another handful of us do both.
School Size: ~4000 (2 campuses, we don't get many from one of them)

Interesting, I'm assuming it's predominately Mira Costa. When I was on the team it was more predominately Redondo Students.

I by no means want to side track this thread, so if you would like, please disregard my comments.

OK, now that I've qualified my remarks, here we go.
If the crux of the original conversation was strictly for statistical purposes, then great! But, if you are trying to measure how your team stands comparing it to other teams, then I suggest you stop comparing. It is not good for you, your team or the FIRST community.
Your team is your team. You get from it what you put into it.

As I like to say, "It's not what you do it with, it's what you do with it."

Now for the numbers:

25-35 students.
1 Advisor.
2 Engineering Mentors.
3 Alumni/College student Mentors.
7-10 involved parents.
~1500 student body.

We have three students from neighboring towns as part of our 30. Millis High School (my team's home town) is the smallest public school in the state of Massachusetts.

Re: School Size vs. Team Size
 

Team 639:

School Size: ~1600
Average team size in the last few years: ~20-30
Team size this year: 55 (a LOT of freshmen and sophomores joined)
Mentors: probably 6 engineering this year, unsure of non-engineering

This big jump in students this year has been a bit of a problem for us. Not that we're complaining though :D
