The land cost per acre is then multiplied by 20 acres per elementary , 40 acres per middle, or 80 acres per high school . Land cost per square foot is determined by multiplying the prototypical number of acres for each school type by the cost per acre of $34 , 136 and dividing by the average square footage per school type ( 81 , 164 square feet for elementary , 123 , 123 for middle, and 279 ,294 for high schools ) . The average square footage by school type is calculated by multiplying the square feet per student station by the maximum number of student stations for new schools , per IRC School District . ( 7 ) Total facility cost per square foot multiplied by the number of square feet per student station (Item 1 ) for each school type . Tindale -Oliver & Associates , Inc .
