How much you want to bet that only the kids of a "few select democrats" will attend that school.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Nah, but more likely than not, based on its location, it might start with 400 students in each grade, but given LAUSD graduation rates, it'll end up with about 30-40 seniors graduating per year.

The money quote from the article.

Quote
"New buildings are nice, but when they're run by the same people who've given us a 50 percent dropout rate, they're a big waste of taxpayer money,

Libs like to blame education problems on the buildings, class size parental involvement, etc, but it seems that education was better in the pre-1960 eras.

WOW!!! Glad they need such an expensive school in a state that is so bankrupt.
OHHHHHHH!!!!!,.....I see, give to the "have-nots" from the ones that "have". (where have I heard that before?!) Now the minorities can have a "state of the art" school.

I thought California was far into the red.  How can they (taxpayer's) afford such a lavish school?  Wasn't California sending out IOU's?

Isn't that something! They spent all that money on a new school in the ghetto for anchor gangsters to graffiti up. What's the point? The state claims in a decade they'll have a shortfall of 110,000 seats in California so they build three new schools and the last one cost over a 1/2 billion dollars!

WTF is fundamentally wrong with windowless cinder-block classrooms?

Hell, a whole lotta kids learned a helluva lot in one-room schools with dirt floors.

Most of the class rooms in my school didn't have air conditioning and some still had radiators for heat.

I don't know why they would bother to spend so much money on new school buildings when they're just going to fill them with the same dumbass students and worthless teachers.

I didn't have airconditioning in school until I went to college.... :(
