Surely any kid who went to only one high school is going to have, at the time, thought it was perfectly normal because that’s all they knew? I think our school had 4 floors in both buildings
It had two buildings. Is that difficult to understand or what? Historically they were separate schools built close together. (Probably a boys and girls school but I don’t remember)
Each had a main part that was a single corridor on 4 floors with classrooms off it. There were extra bits that weren’t part of the main corridor, too, which weren’t as tall, and the main part also wasn’t all classrooms; in one building the bottom floor was, I think, just toilets and changing rooms, then admin offices, and only then were there classrooms, but I can’t remember for sure. In the other building there were 3 complete floors of classrooms and I think one half floor, with the rest of the bottommost floor occupied by a gym.
Sorry, it’s not that I didn’t understand what you said, it’s that I can hardly fathom it.
Most high schools I was aware of were two floors. In a single building, and I almost forgot to specify that because I’d never heard of a multi-building high school before.

Was it just really narrow or something in the middle of a cramped city?
