Reunion.com
Not all of Reunion.com's 34 million members are looking for love. This is not so much a dating site as a way to reconnect with former schoolmates - but that said, most people probably join looking for that high school romance.

Audience & Features: million+ members, straight, alumni

Pricing
3 months:$15
12 months:$39

Classmates.com
Claims 40 million active members in the US and Canada. Not a dating service but a way to reconnect with that high school sweetheart. In addition, group "The Single Life" has more than 5,000 members and very active message boards.

Audience & Features: straight, gay, lesbian, alumni

Square Dating
You must be a graduate of a top-tier school (see list at http://www.thesquare.com/sqd/signup/intro) to be eligible for this site. As a consequence, quantity may be smaller but quality is theoretically higher. Our experience: too close to call. For some reason, the men on this site seem to favor much younger women.

Audience & Features: million+ members, alumni

Gradfinder
3.3 million members. Much more limited than the other sites in this category, and not just due to numbers. Searching is focused on schools and names, with virtually no social networking elements (other than photos posted by people you don't know) and certainly no matchmaking. On the other hand, it's free, so if you're looking for someone from your past might as well do the search. Owned by Various LLC (the Friend Finder people).
