A single point of locked electronic entry will help.

Now sure a guy could shoot from outside the fence into the school.....but I'll take being shot at by a .223 from 50 yards versus 5 feet all day.

I'm not sure but I don't think most high schools sit on 6 city blocks (at least most that I know of don't)...which is approximately 20 acres (best way to visualize it).

How is this feasible? Ok so say you fence all 20-50 acres of most high schools. You still have a bunch of gates, there's absolutely no way you have one gate. Then you have someone manning every gate?

Most High schools are simply not designed for one entry. They may have multiple accesses for multiple athletic events, maybe a music building, cafeteria, etc.

Furthermore, so you have one entrance and some how you now have a shooter inside. That creates a dangerous arse situation too.

Obviously it depends on the size of the school, but I just looked up my High School and it sits on 33 acres and is around 2400 students. That includes parking, multiple athletic fields and practice fields, etc. Some are on campus some are off.

I've definitely seen bigger schools on larger campuses too.

FWIW we have a school police officer, I thought this was standard OP.
