Springvale Elementary

Springvale Elementary is a school in the ghost town of Springvale. There are a few stimpaks and Rad Aways along with other items in the school. There are a few Raiders in the school, as well as Giant Ants in the caverns beneath it, which aren't friendly. There is also a small room near an exit that holds a giant cage, with several dead bodies hanging above it.

Interior
The school has a lower level. Behind a locked door (the key is on a raider on the upper level of the school, otherwise a 100 lockpick skill is required), is access to a mine entrance which ants have infested. A raider computer log found on the upper level of the school indicated that the raiders were trying to tunnel into Vault 101 (bypassing the impregnable door) hoping to plunder its "riches". After a certain point in the tunnel there is a ledge that blocks further access.

The cave beneath the school is filled with Giant ants which come from multiple directions to attack you aggressively. A melee weapon is recommended to conserve your ammo. You can also use VATS to attack their antenna to distract them.

At the bottom of the ledge there are two bodies, an assault rifle, ammo, hockey mask, and the book Chinese Spec Ops Manual, (+1 Sneak). You can either "Grab" (Z key) the corpse to move it off the book or try hitting it with melee weapons (e.g., sledgehammer).

Also found in Springvale Elementary is the book "Duck and Cover," (+1 Explosives).

Appearances
This school only appears in Fallout 3.
