The actual answer varies based upon the size of the school and the extent to which they attempt to conserve energy.
As a guideline, a 1000 square-foot building uses approximately 1,146 kW per day under the assumption that (on average) 17 kWh of electricity is used per square foot annually. So, that's 1.146 kW per day per square foot of space.

The average school consumes between 500-1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per day. This usage can vary based on the size of the school, the number of students and staff, and the energy efficiency of the building.
This answer has many variables due to the square foot area of the school. Basic school power estimates are based on so many watts per square foot. Depending on where the school is located and what school the country is in all have to fit into the equation. Whether the school needs heat in the winter time or air conditioning in the summer time all add up to the total consumption of electrical power.
To convert watts to kilowatts, divide by 1000. In this case, the fridge uses 0.065 kilowatts (65 watts / 1000).
1 watt is equal to 1/1000 kilowatts. To convert a value from watts to kilowatts just divide by 1000. To answer the question there is .001 kilowatts in one watt.
One horsepower (HP) is equivalent to approximately 0.746 kilowatts, so 100 HP is equal to around 74.6 kilowatts.
75 watts is equal to 75/1000 = .075 kilowatts.
To convert milliwatts to kilowatts, you divide by 1,000,000 (since there are 1,000,000 milliwatts in a kilowatt). So, 155 milliwatts is equal to 0.000155 kilowatts.
