# How many students this campus holds, and the parking they need

Floor area per student varies by school model. Converted charter buildings in South Carolina run about 48 to 55 gross sq ft per student. Parking follows the City of Spartanburg's index, which differs for high schools and for elementary or middle schools.

Capacity is floor area divided by area per student; it is not a test-fit of classrooms on floor plans, which are not public. The reasoning behind every default is in [the charter school campus case](https://325southchurch.com/business-cases/charter-school-campus/).
