It's tiny by many standards. The whole school, from pre-K to grade 12 has no more than 600 students. Last year's graduating class had eighty students. This lack of numbers makes T.A.S.I.S. a very community-oriented school. Everyone knows everyone else.
Gossip spreads like fire across a dry forest.
And by the end of the day anyone who can hear knows the latest on the gossip front. This is one of T.A.S.I.S.'s downfalls. Everyone knows everyone else's business and sees it as his or her divine right to comment. But T.A.S.I.S is an excellent school in many ways. T.A.S.I.S. has an excellent academic curriculum.
