Just a curious question. I'm not looking for online schools, I want to know, which is the largest physical (in terms of student body) high school in the U.S? Thanks in advance.
The largest physical high school in the U.S. in terms of student body, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), is Brooklyn Technical High School in New York City. As of the most recent enrollment data, Brooklyn Tech has a student body population of over 8,000 students, which makes it the highest in the country for a single campus.
Of course, these numbers can fluctuate year-to-year based on incoming and outgoing classes, so this might not always remain the same. And it goes without saying that a large student body might present some unique opportunities—like a wider variety of class offerings and extracurriculars— as well as challenges—like possibly larger class sizes or more competition for resources. So it's always worth considering what kind of school environment would serve you best when you're thinking about the size of a school.
