Consider that a typical suburban U.S. high school might have 10,000+ kids, not everyone will make the soccer team.

Not only is that not typical, there seems to be no US in-person high school in the US that has 10,000+ kids (there are a few online/distance-learning high schools that big or bigger.) It looks like the largest in-person is Brooklyn Technical High School, which has ~6,000.

It was hyperbole, but the point still stands. 3000 kids, not everyone is making the soccer team.

The national “top 100” lists of biggest high schools start in the low 3,000s; that's not typical, suburban or otherwise, either.
