I would use dekameters (dkm or dam) because a dekameter is a 10 meters, so obviously, the school is large, therefore, a dekameter (10 ms) would be perfect. Hectometers are too much and kilo is impossible.

I don't think the decametre ("c" not "k") is one of the SI's 'Preferred Units'. The Hectometre (ha) - to stick to the proper spellings of these French words - is used in agriculture and forestry to replace the acre; and the sq. km is used generally for geographical areas; but the appropriate unit for something like a school is the square metre.

The metric system generally is not anthropocentric; and its SI development the ISO intends us all to use come what may, is even less so, but like it or not, we all have to be familiar with the SI version.

What unit of measure would you use to measure a 10-story building?

The most appropriate unit of measure to use for measuring a 10-story building would be feet or meters. Each story of a building is typically around 10 feet high, so a 10-story building would be approximately 100 feet tall.
