The school would be located on an 8.6-acre site one-half mile southwest of the Dougherty Station Community Center in an undeveloped area, next to a 30-acre park. For more information, see this article:

Or we could just build a private school and teach creationism, supply-side economics, and other favorite topics of the right. THAT would really prepare our children for the 21st century.
