Hmm, just came across this and noticed the school has closed, they only had about 350 students and 111 staff!  How the heck do they think they'll keep the school afloat with so less students?  The history of the school seems interesting though...

That's 1 staff per 3 students. Can't imagine why that business model wasn't successful.

And 22 buildings. And new athletic facilities. 500 room sin 9 dorms. Theater. Racquetball court. Man they liked spending money!

If you build it, they will come.

Apparently Kevin Costner was the secret to that methodology.  Cool

The school has been around since 1850, so they probably lost students and didn't do layoffs.
