past SWVA enrollment numbers - 4/2/2008


The first complete list I have is for 1987 - it only has the football-playing 
    schools, so I don't know the numbers for the tiny schools.
    (* Whitewood's 1987 number is the actual number of 9th, 10th & 11th graders
       that were pictured in their 1987 annual, which I found at the library.)

Pre-2003 enrollment numbers are for 3 grades.
The 2008 list uses grades 9-12, so I've reduced that by 25% for a good estimate.

I set this up using the 1987 alignment as my starting point.  That was the 
  first year of Divisions 1 & 2 for all 3 Groups, and AA was still 500-999.

(###) - combined enrollment of the former schools.
(name) - closed school
