Nope I think this roughly accounts for at least 100 million. Our schools are bigger than that and also students also go to private schools.

i am genuunely still confused on top left
If Bonnie were innocent, Hal would have 5 innocent neighbors, contradicting Phil’s claim of having the most innocent neighbors.
Summary
In this puzzle, when a clue say most, it means the absolute most. (meaning, no one can have the same numbers.)
Phil has the most innocent neigbors. (it’s 5) so once Hal has 4 innocent neighbors every other neighbor of Hal has to be criminal.
ohhh i was trying to look for those but severly missed hal

before this statement i was right, it uses a logic system
Summary
depends on the area, in the cities where I grew up it wasn’t uncommon to see public high schools with 2000+ students but you definitely also see smaller
I used 1000 high schoolers/high school and wound up with a slight (yellow arrow) underestimate though so I’m guessing that’s not your issue, did you correctly account for high school being four years rather than (e.g.) dividing 350 million by 500?
