I had a great deal of fun building this set, even though it is a heck ton of years since I last had to grace the doors of a school; it still brought back some memories. To be fair I think they are moew memories of movies I've watched than the actual institution but hey ho.
The set comes with three of the minidoll figures which isn't really enough for the size of the model - honestly they could easily have doubled the number of figures to really give that play value a boost. However, as the figures are interchangeable with minifigures you could utilise any you may have whether or not they are from this set.
The main thrust of the kit is the school house and it is an impressive building. The frontage has some nice architectural details and it uses quite a lot of my favourite bricks (the 1x2 masonry brick) to add a nice texture. Throw a bit of foliage and some coloured studs for flowers and it definitely looks appealing. When you turn the building around it has an open back for easy play and includes:
A cafeteria (the table can be detached to give you more room)
A set of 4 lockers in the atrium
A musical theatre room with "dress up" chest
An art classroom with a cute little pineapple for that still life you are desperate to paint
A bathroom with the ever ubiquitous Lego toilet
A science classroom with the world's cutest microscope.
There is even a basketball hoop so you can get some playground shenigans in as well.
This is a really well rounded set that has a lot of play value. Even better it would really fit well in to a tabletop Lego City environment, it does have a decent sized footprint (sorry I didn't measure it) so you will need to make a bit of space for it but it would definitely be worth it.
