Why would there be 2 to 3 times the number of classrooms? The supply of students isn't going to increase.
Because the number of schools will increase.
Think think think.
Let's use the $500K number per 30 kids. (you understand that would be 500k/30=$16,666 per kid) Let say instead of filtering that $16,666 per kid through the bureaucracy of government we simply gave it to the kid to use at any education facility available to him.
Now you see those kids and you decided to start a little schools for you and your friends or something like that. You want twenty students. You will then have $333,333 per YEAR to start your little school. SURELY you could to that.
Now that is a vary simple example but is what would happen.

And if there are fewer students per school, and certain resources (building and maintenance costs) are stable, then it's aszz profitable investment.

You don't understand how a school system is funded. The schools get MFP money from the state. That is a little less than 8,000 a kid (if and only if they are enrolled on Oct. 1st). Then they get revenue from local taxes, I'm not sure about the amount. Then they get federal dollars that demand they be spent specific ways.
You are lumping everything as if it's all the perfect classroom. You forget how much does it cost to operate a classroom for handicap kids you have to tube feed, perform physical therapy on, and God knows what else.
I'm not saying public schools are perfect, but charters in Baton Rouge are doing worse. Plus how is transportation supposed to work for 300 unaffiliated schools in BR? Uber?
