Re: School Size vs. Team Size

Our school is one of the more smaller rural schools in HI, roughly 1 to 1 1/2 hours away from Honolulu, depending on traffic.
We are grades 7-12 with just under 600 students.
Its VERY difficult to get kids into our STEM/robotics program, but we manage to get about 25 kids/year. Being in a plantation community, most of the general population students love computer classes since most of them are technology starved at home with no internet access. Seriously.

We always get students every year who's first time on a plane is for a mainland robotics trip.

Team 2175

Students: 11 presently registered in STIMS
School size: 134 students 9-12 (~300 6-12)

I believe there are at least 2 students not yet registered that plan on joining and the team is hoping to gain a few more after a man-versus-machine pullup challenge with our Breakaway bot at a school function tomorrow.

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."
I completely understand where you are coming from. I agree that it is not healthy to make your team more like other teams based on what is, "Most common," or even compare your team to other teams.

The only reason I created this thread was to see the diversity in the FIRST community. It was not to compare our team to other teams, it was really just to see what was out there, because I literally had no idea what was really out there.

Thank you very much for your concern, and we will be sure to use this information more for extending our knowledge of FIRST rather than the betterment of our own team.

We're kind of in a tight spot with only 3-4 kids on the team right now. We have about 4 mentors and plenty of space just having trouble getting dedicated kids :-(.


Recap -

School Name - North White High School (Monon,Indiana)

Decent Sponsors

Mentors - About 5

Parents - Not Sure

Team member count: 3-4

School size(9-12): 250ish

Re: School Size vs. Team Size

Carmel High School has about 4500 students, all on one campus.

868 historically has had 50-60 students involved at the start of the season, and 10-30 mentors (recently the number has been high).

Re: School Size vs. Team Size

Wow! What a great information base! Thanks to everyone who responded to this thread. These are some very interesting and varying statistics. If I ever find the time ( ) I might create some kind of chart that will make all of these numbers more visual. I am thinking of some type of demographics table or map of FIRST.

Any input would be great!
