Ramay Junior High Costs Approved | Fayetteville Arkansas News

The Fayetteville School Board just greenlit the final price tag for Ramay Junior High — a whopping $99.9 million, bringing the total project cost to over $116 million. Set to open in fall 2028, this three-story campus will serve generations of students, despite rising costs driven by inflation and site challenges like steep terrain and environmental concerns. Critics pushed back — even suggesting cutting amenities like an outdoor patio — but the board stood firm, calling it a legacy investment. Legal hurdles and neighbor complaints about traffic and runoff were dismissed or settled, clearing the way for construction to begin. While home games will still be played elsewhere, this new school is poised to become a cornerstone of the community for decades to come.
