Pretty much every school I've been to in this state looks somewhat like that.
For example, this is my school.

we were never allowed outside so the courtyard concept seems crazy to me. my elementary school was one "contained" building with a fence around the recess area. my high school was also one very contained building, unless you went out to the track for PE. in my middle school, there was a shortcut between two wings if you just went outside... once students started using it they put up bars (similar to a jail cell) around the shortcut from door to door. (kids "escaping" and ditching school i guess was a problem) i understand keeping others and the occasional crazies out, but it actually looks like a jail cell.

yep, here's mine:
Students aren't permitted in the awkward green space in the middle there.

I think if I post a picture of the schools I went to, you'll all start donating money to us out of pity.

Well... I think I can serve you some European clichés (tiny, old but somewhat picturesque):
This was my school:
And this was the boarding school that belonged to the school:
EDIT: Sorry they're huge! :eek:

That's my high school in NJ and as you can see we had a pretty obvious courtyard. Unlike what I'm seeing about most east coast schools we were able to go in the courtyard all the time.
You could eat lunch there or just walk through as a shortcut to class. It was pretty convenient since my school is a square lol. We also were allowed to go out for our lunch period senior year.

I think it's pretty common in Europe and parts of eastern USA for schools to just be one building with a few hundred kids maximum.
I had the (unfortunate) experience of being in high school before the city decided to build 5 new schools... We have almost 3,500 at my high school (which was built to hold 1,300) with the largest graduating class of over 1,000. YIKES.
We had not only various wings and buildings, but portable classrooms as well.
