Of course, if you decide that you don't want a 35:1 teacher/student ratio the numbers change quickly. Likewise, this sounds like high-school, so you may want a lab (more per square foot and more square footage per student), you may want a library, you may event want to have the ability to gather all your students in one place (say, an auditorium), you may want a few other activites to go on in the building (say, an art studio space).
It's amazing what you can do to costs if you assume away a good half of the building and cut your teaching staff by another 50%.
These kids aren't going to get taught French or go to Paris. They're going to be warehoused until they can make french fries.
(By the way, if I haven't been clear before, I'd be happy to dramatically cut admins and do some radical reshaping of schools -- but not like this. My goal would be to start with a 15:1 or better student/teacher ratio and figure out what we had to do to get there).

180 students. 5 teachers = 36 students per teacher.
Did we read the same essay? Did you miss the sarcasm? We shouldn't have to rent anything because the school districts already own the schools.
