The kids would spend all day staring out the windows, enjoying the view, instead of paying attention to their teachers. (At least, I know I would.) And can you imagine how long fire drills would take?

What do people do during fire procedures in similar size buildings in downtown areas of major cities?
Why do you need a school building? Why not issue students a laptop and let them study at home using something like the Khan Academy? https://www.khanacademy.org/
If we want taxpayer funded daycare go ahead and build schools. If we want students to learn maybe we get away from the failure that is our current educational system (building multi million dollar schools, hiring bloated administrations and having a talking head at a chalkboard trying to "teach" 30 kids)
That's what the staggered start times for different grade levels are for.
Right.
65k/13 grades = 5000 kids per grade.
If you stagger even 30 minutes (assuming you can get 5000 kids out of a building in 30minutes) that's 6 hours between K and 12th graders.
So if the Kindergarteners start school at 8AM, the 12th graders have to start at 2PM?
Somebody's still sleepy eyed, thinking that it was Muslims who placed explosives in the twin towers, and building seven. Wake up sleepy's. Or, do you believe the foolish claim that fire brought the towers down, and hurled 300 ton beams across the street, and embedded them in the brick walls of buildings; and blew bone fragments unto rooftops across the street. What kind of fire can do that? Again, please, wake up!
Though efficient use of volume is important, a skyscraper / high rise is generally inefficient as a remedy for scarce surface area.
Unfortunately, too many conflicting interests will prevent any rational resolution to that dilemma.
As to the consolidation of students, I do not concur.
I prefer home schooling and computer learning systems that pace the student, over institutionalized "babysitting" and "group learning."

Office buildings have far fewer fire drills than do schools. Also, adults can make their way down stairways more easily than children can. And adults don't need to have someone keep track of them and take attendance afterwards, as they can report their location themselves.

Yes, pity the parent with kids in multiple grades...child care, transpo...total nightmare.
95 stories, a major disaster waiting to happen. Gunman in the school everybody evacuate out onto the street is one example. Parents trying to take and pick up students, parking, environmental problems, the list can go on and on...
