My community tore down the old high school about five years ago and replaced all the old buildings with ONE BIG BUILDING of several stories that looks and functions like a prison. You can get in the front door but after that, you have a secured entrance manned by guards who are armed. The school has its own school police cars, too. That’s the only way to get into the school complex which is one big building and BTW, the windows do NOT open and they’re bulletproof.
Ours did the same. Asked my son how the hell would they get out of the 2nd level. I suggested grabbing the fire hose to scale down since they don’t have fire ladders. It was also built right next to an elementary school.
