The land is flat and easily built upon. Rock is deep enough that it will cause no problem. The school, if built on either the Travis or Greene road sites, would be at the end of the deadend, unsuitable for a school where traffic could clog the street in case of emergency. The school ought to be out in the open, as it would be on the Bethel site, between Bethel Church and Running Creek roads. The architects have placed the school on the Bethel site in the corner between the two roads, which detractors say is too close to the roads.
Supporters say it can be placed at the back of the property, away from traffic.

Those who favor these sites say most children will come from Stanfield and Oakboro and the school ought to be between the two communities.
