To be precise, ... Volume 4 has this special exam where all freshman students except Arisu Sakayanagi are divided into 12 groups of 13 (We can't speculate though if this distribution is uniform, but according to Volume 5, there must be at least 12 members/students in each of those 12 groups to make the exam work. We already confirmed in this page before that at least 3 of those groups surely have 13 participants). So that means, there are [(12*9+13*3)+1 <-> (12*13))+1] = 148 <-> 157 freshmen among the high school students.

Anime's version of a number of students, though, makes a lot more sense given the circumstances that they have during the Deserted Island Special Test. Examine this table appended to the page, D-Class Progression and you'll notice that they only bought 1 tent in addition to the two tents that they already have. How could you fit in 40 students inside the 3 tents though?
