    Well, I went to wayside school, so I guess in retrospect it was a little weird, but at the time it seemed normal.

    Surely any kid who went to only one high school is going to have, at the time, thought it was perfectly normal because that’s all they knew? I think our school had 4 floors in both buildings

      our school had 4 floors

      Was it just really narrow or something in the middle of a cramped city?

      in both buildings

      …what

        It had two buildings. Is that difficult to understand or what? Historically they were separate schools built close together. (Probably a boys and girls school but I don’t remember)

        Each had a main part that was a single corridor on 4 floors with classrooms off it. There were extra bits that weren’t part of the main corridor, too, which weren’t as tall, and the main part also wasn’t all classrooms; in one building the bottom floor was, I think, just toilets and changing rooms, then admin offices, and only then were there classrooms, but I can’t remember for sure. In the other building there were 3 complete floors of classrooms and I think one half floor, with the rest of the bottommost floor occupied by a gym.

          Sorry, it’s not that I didn’t understand what you said, it’s that I can hardly fathom it.

          Most high schools I was aware of were two floors. In a single building, and I almost forgot to specify that because I’d never heard of a multi-building high school before.

    My middle school was bigger than my grade school. The first high school I attended was smallish but it had a lower student population, so that wasn’t odd. The second high school I attended was much bigger, but it had a larger student population, so that wasn’t odd either.
