Comprehensive Plan Public School Facilities Element <br />High Schools <br />Currently, there are two high schools in Indian River County. These are Sebastian High <br />School and Vero Beach High School. Currently, there are 4,892 student stations, <br />including those at the Freshman Learning Center, at the high school level. The current <br />enrollment at the high school level is 4,766 students. Based on current enrollment, the <br />district -wide utilization at the high school level is approximately 97% for the current <br />school year. Additional concreatables will be added to the high school sites over the next <br />few years to maintain established level of service. <br />Between school year 2018/19 and school year 2028/29, one additional high school and <br />additions to existing high schools are needed. The anticipated location for the new high <br />school is somewhere within the west central area of the county. The planned student <br />capacity is 2,500 high school student stations at the new high school. An additional 600 <br />high school student stations will be added to the County's existing high schools. The <br />new high school will be located on at least an 80 acre site. <br />Land Area Required for New Schools <br />Currently, the Indian River County School Board's policy is that schools be placed on <br />sites that are 20 acres in size for public elementary schools, 40 acres in size for public <br />middle schools, and 80 acres in size for public high schools. The minimum site sizes <br />allow adequate area for school buildings, off-street parking, student pick up areas, <br />physical education fields, mitigation areas, and buffers from bordering areas. <br />Table 12.12: Planned Public Schools, Public School Additions & Land Area Needed <br />Planned School <br />Planned Student Capacity <br />Year School Needed <br />Acreage Needed <br />Elementary "D" <br />750 <br />2015-2019 <br />20 <br />Elementary "E" <br />750 <br />2019-2028 <br />20 <br />Elementary "F" <br />750 <br />2019-2029 <br />20 <br />Elementary Additions <br />200 <br />2015-2019 <br />NA <br />Elementary Additions <br />200 <br />2019-2029 <br />NA <br />Middle School "CC" <br />1,400 <br />2015-2019 <br />40 <br />High School "BBB" <br />2,500 <br />2019-2029 <br />80 <br />High School <br />Additions <br />600 <br />2019-2029 <br />NA <br />Community Development Department Indian River County <br />25 <br />
