Rio Rancho High School
This is my absolute best chance at survival. its sis school is about the same size both were made to hold 5-7k in students(10k with preforming arts arenas) , i believe it could hold 3k people effectively maybe more also with storage space.As you can see RRHS is located a 1/4 a mile from the nearest housing area(houses are covered by Google sign at the bottom)its sister school is located another 1 mile directly north of this one, with almost the EXACT same layout giving us a huge advantage when seeing the enemies coming to knock on are door and there is an elementary school just to the right about 1/4 of a mile. I think they could easily hold 10k plus the Rio Grando river/farming-ranching area's are 6-7miles from the high school. Also all 3 schools are located on a mesa face, and there are only 3 ways to get up the mesa. The high school its self is broken into 7large buildings. As far as i could gather the city/school website and personal knowledge the square footage(only included inside buildings) was several 100k sq feet. And several people have asked by a school because as u can see its out the way and its open desert 3 of the 4 directions and to protect myself i can just get iron bars and chain-link from home depot and cover the first floor and if needed barricade the second story. Its a new school about 10years old and actually one of the nicest schools in the US( mainly 'cuz the military and Intel give big money) but i think its good as for food Rio grandes close by make farms and even gated areas for bunny's. anyway the 7large buildings are called academies and are listed as follows.

The Schematics and Engineering &design have backup generators, to run for a week in case of power outages(good for us)(school used to be the fall back in case of natural disasters, now the sports complex is used, this is the 3-4 fall back for the city but a majority will head to the sport complex as they have supplies buried in the areas below the Fields)

Schematics- This building is mainly where most math and science rooms are located(bio/chem/physics labs)(also there is a large greenhouse located at the north of the school for the bio classes the 2 white bars under satellite)

Fine arts-Has a preforming arts arena(can hold 3k), building is mainly for the band,choir, arts classes. I figure this is used from moral of my colony as so that young children have something to do.

Engineering &design-This is as the building where robotics classes any thing mechanical is here also there are many astronomy telescope-binoculars are located in this building)(i don't know why but my cooking lab is located here its has 7 fully equipped kitchens ands also has a large cooking cabin with canned and non-perishable garnishes)

Humanities-History and language are located here plus this building also has a radio receiver and broadcaster of the city's radio/tv channel and frequency

Administration-The first and largest building where teacher go. this building has the library, recording room, AV room, cafeteria, entrance to the other building. something to know my school is every wealthy. All classrooms have at least 2 computers and each building has a computer lab each lab has at least 30computers(2007centeno duel desks donated by the Intel plant within the city)( also the Marine corp has classes along with several handguns, semi-auto guns, and rifles with hundreds of rounds with a built in shooting range located here.also there's on in the Engineering&design{ MILITARY GIVES US ALOT OF GUNS mainly 'cuz the military is a big thing in my state)

Gym-The gym we have a 3 weight rooms usually they hold 200students at any one time gym is has 3 basketball courts a football stadium and track/soccer Fields

Business&Entrepreneurship-the Business classes and more math class are offered here along with a book room the size of a Basketball court.

Pro's and Con's
in the part i will talk about the pro/con's in both the school and surrounding area.

Pro's to the school- Large, only way to gain entry to the court yard and thous to the buildings in though the 3steel-reinforce gates at the ends of the courtyard, zombie can go there or though the admin building. Bottom floor doors and windows have steel bars in front or inside so only locking the doors is really needed( will but extra to reinforce). Has the area needed along with supplies and generator hookups.plus there is a zoology class and cages that cats and dogs can be put for company. I can up iron bars and chain-link over all downstairs keeping us safe if all else fail i stay upstairs

Pros to area- 1/4 mile from housing area. Sister and elementary school is within walking/driving/ even walky talkie distance

Cons to school- large school at least a hundred or so are needed as basic skeleton crew(for high school alone)

Con to area- all walmarts,cosco's, and gun stores are at least a 2-3mile away, gas stations are 9-10 blocks away.
