That may be good or bad. The larger the school, the more activites and special
programs it can have. Having gone to a "regular" high school in the late 1960's
with 4500 students across 3 grades, I can say that there were things that were
availble to the genral population that were only available to students
in specialized schools with smaller populations.

Of course that was a long time ago, things may have changed.
