I'm down to one school that I extract. It's a special needs school with urine and feces doing down weekly. The maintenance guy keeps up with the spots best he can, I flush it out every couple months. Encap would not be suitable for this particular school. Forget residential for this conversation; completely different environment and textile.
A complete system of encapsulation on CGD in an appropriate environment isn't a theoretical conversation. Deep vacuuming, scrubbing it out followed by a regular vacuuming schedule is maintaining millions of sq/ft of CGD to a high level of appearance worldwide. Not educating the client on the importance of doing all 3 all the time is critical. The build up is simple a failure or a breakdown in a simple system. I've seen it time and time again with my customers. Fall behind and the carpet is left behind. I don't know what kind of environment your school accounts are like but if they are like 90% of all others then a less expensive more cost effective encap system could maintain them to a high level of appearance with the custodians keeping the post vacuuming schedule alive. I haven't seen one "custodian" staff yet that knows how to properly operate a vacuum on wide areas to remove dirt, or maintain the equipment. I have several huge churches that do this exact routine because I trained them. They vacuum like it's they're job because they know it's the biggest part of a total system. They have seen me pre-vac and perform the scrubbing process and found they save money hiring me to do that part of it. Your school is prime for this approach.
