[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My Midwestern high school in the 90's had 2,400 kids and it was fine. 2,700 is big but not ridiculous. Nobody wants to move out of W-L because they think Yorktown is too rich/white and Wakefield is too poor/brown. So this is what you get. [/quote]

OP was asking about common spaces, and if they can properly serve the population. The gym and auditorium are the largest of the three high schools and built to old specifications for larger sized schools. (The current ed specs call for smaller common spaces.) The cafeteria is large but students are not limited to the cafeteria at lunch, and can eat/study/socialize many places on campus. Seniors can leave campus. The new classroom building by the planetarium also has large furnished indoor and outdoor common spaces not programmed for any specific use. Students can eat there as well.

So only the poor kids buying or using FARM have to suffer the small cafeteria — rich kids can pop over to Rocklands. [/quote]

Relatively few students eat in the actually cafeteria when they can eat most anywhere on campus and many study in the library. This isn’t the 1950s with mean librarians and staff that prevent students from leaving the cafeteria. No schools today operate that way. [/quote]
