Are you based in a single school, and if so, how many students?

We're a collaborative team between two high schools. All of our meetings are conducted at the newer school, because that's where our coach is employed and where we have access to a machine shop. The older school has about 1,400 students; the newer one has approximately 950-1,000.
There's been a huge decline in robotics enrollment of students from the older school, because it's simply too difficult to get a steady presence over there when all of our stuff is based in the other one. We try to attend the other school's curriculum fairs and other events, but our coach is the only one with a trailer that can transport the robot, and we depend on his schedule for when we can do this kind of stuff.
