I have no idea what the "cost" of new HS's cover (is land, desks, uniforms included?), but here's some numbers I've collected recently ...
The new East Rockingham HS :
1,200 capacity - 213,000 square ft. - 90 acres - $42 million ($135 a sq. ft.)
Prince William Co.'s almost-ready Patriot HS :
2200 capacity - 312,067 sq. ft. - 94 acres - $70.7 Mil.
Mingo Co.'s almost-ready Central HS :
900 capacity - 172 K sq. ft. - 75 acres - $74 Mil ($215 / sq. ft.)
($38 Mil. of "earthwork" is being donated, leaving a budget of $36.9 million)
Clarke Co.'s just-started replacement (whuch was the latest to be bid out):
884 students - 162,500 sq. ft. - $28.3 Mil. ($174 / sq. ft.)
Using Clarke, looks like a couple of 1000's could be built for around $65 Mil.
