Actually, I believe there are just under 90,000 total public schools in the US and there can't be all that many private schools so I'm betting that there actually aren't that may high schools. Maybe 25,000 or 30,000? Okay, now that I look at it even 25,000 is kind of a lot. For FIRST to grow 25 times as big in only 5 years would be absolutely nuts. I say we just let FIRST take its course as it has been and hopefully we will all live to see the day that it reaches every high school.
