How Much It Costs to Build a School Today

By Ace, and Jaemoo

            The Williamstown Public School in Williamstown, Massachusetts is an old school, so they are currently building a new one.  It costs $14.5 million and it will house 650 students maximum. The Williamstown Public School is about three times bigger than Mark's Meadow.  Since our school is about 1/3 smaller, it would cost about 1/3 less money to build. $14.5 million divided by three equals about $4.8 million.

In 1870, when the North Amherst School was built, it cost $8,000. This is a picture of bills for some of the work:
