[quote=Anonymous][quote]I believe someone said or they thought KAA could be a 2000 student HS school max, but that it had only 1200 students in K-12 enrolled when it closed. Not sure where the extra 800 came from but perhaps they were not using the whole space, or perhaps FCPS would redo some of the public spaces to make more classrooms. But yes that would make KAA HS the smallest in that area by far. But there are other ~2000 student HS’s in the county. South County is the next-newest building and is around 2000. Falls Church is around 2000 as well, Yorktown in Arlington and Langley both come in around 2200. As long as they could get it to 1900-2000 I don’t think people would complain. Below that and they might not be able to offer as many classes as other schools.[/quote]

People have posted earlier:

The private school had 8:1 ratio.
Someone said the square footage is the same as Centreville which has close to 2500.
With minor adjustments, this could work. All schools require storage spaces, too, and supply rooms.  I know the drama department at our school requires space for storage.  These could utilize the adjacent buildings that are being purchased.  Possibly some clerical requirements could be in those buildings, too.
I think it said there were three gyms.  Certainly, one of those could also be converted, if needed.
