The approximately 11.83-acre site is improved with an approximately 101,553 SF, three-level school building, a 4,551 SF field house, an on-site football/athletic field and surface parking. The building includes 41 classrooms, a gymnasium with stage, two cafeterias, a full-size kitchen, an assembly room, locker and team rooms, and administrative offices, making it well suited for continued use by a charter, private or faith-based school, or for conversion to community, healthcare, workforce-training or other institutional uses.
