I was curious about details so I tried to search for more info and I discovered:

  1. there are so many websites that just posted exact duplicates of this article
  2. teachers being arrested for child fight clubs is more common than i thought

A lot of "local" news stations do this because they're almost all owned by two companies- Sinclair and Nexstar. If you add "-Sinclair -Nexstar" to your search it may filter the duplicates out.

I really want to know how old these kids were.

It's fucked up any way you slice it, but it becomes different flavors of fucked up if we're talking 17-year-olds versus 12-year-olds versus 6-year-olds. I looked it up, and the school serves kids from 4 to 18 years of age so no help there.

Those kids could have a decade long fight career before college

not much difference from the UFC, exploit certain fighters, especially some of them are still "poor" to make a spectacle out of them for the superstar from to time, and owned by a reprehensible guy too. i once said in a UFC sub, they should pay thier fighters more,.
