Title: A question about your high schools or old high schools
Post by: NOA_Haunted on September 01, 2009, 09:51:42 AM
Do or did you have an open-campus, and by that I mean some of your classes were in a different building sort of like colleges and universities?

Because my high school is very small but I have heard of large high school campuses with multiple learning facilities.

Nope, my Catholic school was poor as hell, so no. My other high school... nope, just one building.

Now the Central school district in my area is just ridiculous. It's huge:

Yeah, my school is tiny we barely have over 1,500 students if that... Other schools around me have giant buildings and get new equipment every year, and we still have computers from 1998.

You call that tiny? My old high school has about 220 students. Now that's tiny.

It had to share the same building with another school

No, but we did have some fairly nice air-conditioned trailer facilities outside near the track where some students had to go class.

It's a 4,000 student school. (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=cardozo+high.+bayside&sll=38.911151,-77.021923&sspn=0.040206,0.065489&ie=UTF8&ll=40.752296,-73.75717&spn=0.002446,0.004093&t=h&z=18&iwloc=A)

at my last school which was a freshman-only building, i had four of my classes in a building separate from the main one

But it wasn't really an open campus, you couldn't leave the main building unless your class was elsewhere.

My high school is basically the same, but I haven't had any classes outside of the main building as yet.

it's an enormous building with over 3500 students myface;

Nope our building was big enough to house all the classes that they offered.

No. It gets too cold in the winter for my high school to have an open campus.

Hell, I remember how they wouldn't let you go in the courtyards until it started getting to be 70 degrees out. I don't know if they even let you do that anymore. I heard rumors that my old high school is getting really strict about everything.

Well, it depends, yes and no. Most regular students at my "college (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CEGEP)" will all have their classes in the same building, but students in what they call Chemical Procedure have their classes in an institute somewhere else dedicated for that.

There's two buildings for my school but they are connected by a short outdoor hallway so it's pretty much one building.

Post by: Hiro on September 01, 2009, 03:46:31 PM
Yeah, my school has like... 10 or so buildings.

But open campus means you can leave for lunch, which we can't.  baddood;

Well, the gymnasium used to be separate from main school, but the connector building fixed that so now it's just one giant building.  n_u

There are 7 buildings counting the gym. Once the new gym is finished there'll be 8.

What's annoying is that the bastards who run the place complain about not having enough money/programs.

I go to a school with about 1700 students. We have an extra building with an indoor soccer field and a few classes, but that's only used for some sports and dance classes. We keep almost everything within one building. Unlike those crazy bastards in Plano who have an average of 2,500 students per high school, my town divides our students into four schools of about 1,600. Next year, we're opening up two more high schools. I like it this way, because a school that's too big would really suck.

Also, interesting fact: when I moved here in 1998, there were four or five elementary schools. I recently learned that the number is now 25. I looked at a list of every school in my town and didn't recognize half of them.
