The school incorporates a lot of natural light and has all updated materials in excellent condition. The Lea school is about 30 years old and, like many Philadelphia public schools, lacks adequate facility funding. Many of the materials and building are outdated and deteriorating. Students at Penn Alex were significantly more positive than students at Lea regarding their school and rated wall color, variety of wall color, amount of lighting, amount of art work on display, personally having art work on display, overall appearance of the school, peers opinion of overall appearance, and elements that should be changed all higher.

Vining (2006) recognizes that there are many different factors involved in the quality of education that a child receives in school. The interior environment of schools is a factor not often considered, but one that is much more easily improved than other factors.

Even if the effect of the school interior environment on student experience is proven to be small compared to other variables, it is an aspect of education that is within the realm of administrators, educators, and communities to change.

Ad Description: The color ad chosen from People Magazine advertises Thai Airways Southeast Asia Silk Express, the "fastest service from New York to Bangkok." The headline reads, "Less time flying, More time exploring Asia." What catches the attention is the very strange, actually laughable, juxtaposition between the photograph of the ancient spires of what appears to be the Grand Palace on the left frame and an attractive Caucasian woman with her
