We had a lot of Jr. Higher, but not many older students. This problem went away as those students grew older invited more friends and their age group grew. Because of that we had a really large high school graduating class when they were seniors. The challenge then becomes the need to make sure that you are continually adding younger students or you will graduate all of your students out and have to "start over".
