Are there any records available on the numbers of kids who went through straight?

That's a good question- one that I'm sure there's an answer to.

Why do you ask?  
You don't sound like you were even in any sort of program as another post you made inquired about what the term "copping out" meant?

She's writing a book. No kidding, not being snide, she really is.

OzGal, all we have are estimates. Wes Fager has some hard, but incomplete numbers. I'm guessing somewhere between 50 and 100 thousand of us went through Straight, Inc. between `76 and `93 while it was operating under that name. But that's just a rough guess.

Then again, who isn't writing a book?
When outsiders look in, I feel that much more like a lab rat.  Just a personal thing, I am so much more into telling my own story than trying to explain it to others with lofty intentions.

beware of rough calculation ahead  :rofl: :

17 years, give or take 9 locations. Some had average group sizes of 300, some were more like 150 to 200, then some were even smaller. So, average for the whole 9 would conceivably run around 180 or, so that's about 9x180=1620x17=27,540.

27,540 could be a reasonable guesstimate. Keep in mind that Sembler claims only 12,000 successful graduates and current programs base their success rates on 51% of the successful graduates responding to surveys, etc. Rumor has it that KHK has 10 or fewer clients these days.

one other way would be to multiply that 27,540 by $4,000 which was the average cost in the early years and that comes up to $110,160,000 which is close to the $100,000,000 that has been reported on various sites to be what straight inc earned over the 17 years it was called that name.

First of all if you are really writing some sort of book and were never in the program, you really do need to get your facts 'STRAIGHT'.  There were no "students" in the program, it wasn't a school.  An accurate is not possible and anything less than accurate shouldn't be published, even as an estimate.  If I were involved in such a project, I wouldn't include guesswork if you want to be be taken seriously.
