I graduated in 2005. My high school class started with ~250 and finished with a little over 200.
The class after that was about 20 smaller. Then again. Then again. Then again.
Boone's demographics are about the best example of the end of the "echo" from the Baby Boom that I've ever found. Boomers end in 1964, which if you advance forward 25 to 35 years, equals 1989 to 1999.
Which translates into the Class of 2007 through the Class of 2017. And that is right when Boone's class sizes collapsed.
Boone ‘06 here. I want to say when I was in school, Boone was one of the two or three biggest schools in 3A. I think the Toreadors were district runners up Fall of 2004 and winners in 2005.
If Boone ends up in a new 4A district with schools like Fort Dodge, Norwalk, Indianola, Hoover, DC Grimes, maybe even Urbandale, they’re going to get destroyed.
