And 11 and 193 in Mount Olive, NJ.

340 in NY for a while was running another team--was it 424?

There are also 3-4 schools running a girls-only team and a co-ed/boys-only team.

There are some good reasons to run two FRC teams from one school, and it CAN be done. But the move to do so needs to have the entire team buying in, and the team needs to be sustainable as one team first (and more than sustainable). If someone just randomly decides to start a second team without any buy-in and without checking whether it's actually feasible, then there's a problem and one of the teams will most likely fail. It could take some time to recover from the attempt, too.
I believe that 1241 and 1285 are out of the same school as well.
