Orange County Schools
<br /> The Orange County Schools District has constructed three new schools, two elementary
<br /> schools and one middle school, since 1991 increasing capacity by 1,961 seats. In
<br /> addition, the District is currently constructing a new 1,000-student high school, Cedar
<br /> Ridge High School. In 1990 (New Hope Elementary opened in fall 1991), the District's
<br /> capacity was 4,843 students. With the opening of Cedar Ridge High in fall 2002,
<br /> capacity will be 7,804. The two new elementary schools have provided 1,221 additional
<br /> seats for elementary students while A. L. Stanback Middle School has provided 740
<br /> new seats.
<br /> Since 1991, more than $34.9 million has been invested in new schools (schools
<br /> currently in operation) in the Orange County Schools District. This equates to $10,117
<br /> per seat. The projected cost of Cedar Ridge High is just over $27.9 million bringing the
<br /> total new school investment for this district to $62.8 million or$15,023 per seat.
