Good map of a high school

[Bruno]

Maptools lets you take an image and drop it onto the 'tabletop' for everyone to put their 'minis' on. So, if it's a PNG, JPG, or GIF (possibly also BMP and TIFF, not sure) it's "maptools compatible". You can even drag-drop right out of your browser and into Maptools.

So I'm having problems understanding the OPs requirements.

It very much is. It'd need to be big enough so that 1 yard is at least 25 pixels or so, at least if it's to be used as a battle map (which is what I assumed was the requirement).

If it's a choice between having the game session or not, you can certainly get away with some pretty low resolution files. Especially with one of these simplified plan-type maps, where all you really need is enough so you can see whether you're in a room or not. There's no details on the map in the first place.

It won't be very pretty! But it'll certainly work.

It did have a partial map.
