Prince George’s County Public Schools adopted a Public Private Partnership (P3) model to construct and maintain six new schools by 2023, marking the first instance in the U.S. of using P3 for a public school bundle. This initiative resulted in five middle schools and one K-8 academy, adding over 8,000 seats. Two of these schools, Kenmoor Middle School and Sonia Sotomayor Middle School, are both two-story buildings designed for grades 6-8, accommodating 1,200 students each. They are part of a set of four prototype middle schools, each costing around $53M.
