Explanation:
The extent to which school buildings support education has been an important topic for
policymakers. One issue is the physical condition of the buildings, particularly as school buildings age: a
1995 U.S. General Accounting Office report estimated the cost of bringing existing schools into good
condition at $112 billion. The report noted that about one-third of schools, with 14 million students,
reported the need for extensive repair or replacement of one or more buildings, and that almost 60 percent
of schools reported at least one major building feature was in disrepair. In addition, schools faced federal
mandates to make schools accessible to all students and to remove or correct hazardous substances such
as asbestos, lead paint, and radon, costing $11 billion of the $112 billion total. A later follow-up report
indicated that the need for repairs, though widespread, was distributed unequally throughout the nation:
the greatest needs were in central cities, the West, large schools, secondary schools, schools where more
than half of the students belong to racial/ethnic minorities, and schools where 70 percent or more of the
students were poor (U.S. General Accounting Office 1996). Later reports also documented a continuing
and possibly growing need. A 2000 report by the National Education Association estimated the cost of
repairs/renovation at $322 billion. One fundamental reason for the need for repairs was the safety of the
students and teachers, but the quality of the school buildings affects other factors as well. It forms part of
the context for learning, so that factors such as lighting, noise reduction, and air quality can influence
student behavior and academic achievement (Lackney 1999; Schneider 2002). It also is related to teacher
satisfaction: 48 percent of teachers who transferred to another school and 39 percent of teachers who left
teaching cited the need for significant repair of school facilities as a source of dissatisfaction (U.S.
Department of Education 2005; see also Buckley, Schneider, and Shang 2005).
Another issue is whether schools have sufficient capacity to fulfill their purposes. One
difficulty is that the buildings may become less suitable when there are shifts in the nation’s population:
some communities have experienced decreases in the school-age population due to outmigration or shifts
in the age distribution, leading to below-capacity enrollment in their schools, while others have
experienced large increases in population and have needed either to build new schools, expand existing
ones, or put more students in buildings than the buildings are designed to serve. A 1999 Fast Response
Survey System (FRSS) survey asked school district personnel to provide the number of students a school
was designed to serve (here labeled the design capacity) and the enrollment size for that school; it found
that 52 percent of schools had enrollments that were below the design capacity by more than 5 percent,

With large campus and highly trained faculties, the Little Flowers School has one more facility to boast of. The sports facilities available in the school are enough to attract several students.
The presence of a swimming pool and the latest machines of games provides opportunities for students to discover their passion. The timely organisation of state-level competitions not only brings recognition to students but also opens career opportunities for them.
