Well, apart from the possibility that the number isn't to be taken literally but what's convenient for the sake of display...

...40 is actally not too bad for an elite school. Assuming of course that being hunter/huntress is an elite status.

Consider, we have no idea or indication as to the total number of population, no clue as to how hard the selection normally is, nor how big the capacity of Beacon Academy (though granted, it doasn't look small).

We know the education is four years, you'd expect a new class each year, so that'd be a turnout of maybe 30 a year (assuming some fail or otherwise don't complete). On the other hand, we have not seen nor heard mention any senior students.
