New Los Angeles High School Costs $578 Million - Is It Worth It?

The most expensive public school in U.S. history is about to open it's doors in Los Angeles. The new Robert F. Kennedy Community School is causing quite a stir. It will combine grades K-12.


AP reports one member of the California Board of Education saying: "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."
It's pretty over the top.  But it will give a lot of laid-off teachers their job back. "Nationwide, dozens of schools have surpassed $100 million with amenities including atriums, orchestra-pit auditoriums, food courts, even bamboo nooks."
What do you think? I'm kinda digging the thought of a food court.
