Below is an estimated comparison between renovating the high school and building a new high school. Both scenarios include adding an elementary school for future growth. The elementary school would either be renovated from the current middle school or built new. Both scenarios result in about the same capacity of students but significantly different costs.

Below is an estimated comparison of school capacity based on the above scenarios. Note that the projected capacities are well below 225 per class and the total number of additional students represented by 225 per class.
| STUDENT POPULATION: | |||||

| Present: | Current: | Regrade: | Current: | Projected in 2008: | Projected @ 225 per grade level: |
