It looks like (https://nsa-codebreaker.org/leaderboard_2022) at least 350 schools has a "School Solve Times" that isn't null, so unless some students are enrolled in multiple schools, it seems like way more than 100 people managed to solve it.

Go to Task 9 at the bottom. 40-someting schools had people score, about 102 people scored on that task (more completed it though, not sure what the difference is, hand counted so may have miscounted).
Correct, which is why I say 100-something. For some reason, they put all the schools in every table. Just a guess, but I assume "scorers" are only people who solved it in the limited time window.
