Entrances are locked and visitors are buzzed in and asked for identification.

But the doors are still vulnerable to an AK-15, if not the locks, then the glass in those doors.

I see the guards carry pistols but if an attack was in another part of the school, on another floor, I don't see how one guard is prepared to "neutralize" a shooter in even a timely manner.
