<40% LAUSD graduation. Of the 40% that do graduate, 80% cannot read at college level and must take beginning reading classes.

Education is getting more costly. Time to blame high cost of teachers.
I’m praying for the municipal bond market to tank so BS projects like this can’t get bonded out. Wall Street has been pushing this crap for years. They are the enablers
ARE THEY INSANE???????????
HOW DID THEY GET THIS KIND OF BUDGET FOR THIS??????
Fine. Then we shouldn’t hear one single, solitary bitch from the LA school district about budget shortfalls, should we?
They need to find out who is responsible for this boondoggle and hang them. This is a total disgrace and now they come begging money from the rest of us to they can pay police and firemen.
In case anyone didn’t run the numbers, this comes out to $138,000 per student.
Proof that the budget crisis is not a real concern for the left.
The sooner LA and CA go broke the sooner we can fix the problems.
When I first saw the spiral architecture along side the 101, I thought it was another Disney Music/Theater complex.
That’s $137,619.00 per pupil. Is that high? Seems so to me. Actually it’s crazy. Did it say how much of the money comes from Federal programs?
I’m really sick of the Federal Government paying for everything. In Charlotte they’re putting in a wireless network for emergency services. Guess who’s paying for it.
Another school built for Anchor Babies and other children of illegal aliens. Who wouldn’t cross the border illegally to get your kids into this for free — even though it is run by LAUSD! By the time out public school teachers/government propagandists get done with these kids they’ll be illiterate in not one language but two! Bwahaha!

Look, they've been telling us for years that low education scores are because of lack of money, right?

STOP LAUGHING !!!
The LA education elites build an unnecessarily extravagant school and charge the taxpayers crushing taxes to fund it. In a prior time, Louis XIV building Versailles on the backs of the starving peasants. In both cases, the elites took everything the common people had to build their palaces.
Back in 1990, I ran for the state legislature in the Mid-Wilshire district (now called Korea Town) where this school is located. I ran as a suicide Republican candidate in an overwhelming Democrat district and had no chance of winning. Of course I was slaughtered in the election.
But it may interest many of you to know that my big issue was my staunch opposition of LAUSD taking over the old Ambassador Hotel which I wanted to see renovated. At the time even Donald Trump was looking at the property.
No I feel totally vindicated as this new latest white elephant unfolds as the district, like LA, and the entire state is sliding down the toilet, over run and overwhelmed with illegal aliens and drowning in an ocean of red ink.
Welcome to RFK Community Schools!
The Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools is a K-12 complex located on the former site of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California where U.S. Senator Kennedy was assassinated in 1968. Schools in the RFK Network embody Kennedy's social justice legacy.

We are a special cluster of public schools.
As pilot schools, role models of educational innovation, and as research and development sites for effective teaching and learning in urban public schools.
We are committed to your community.
The RFK Community Schools are located in the Wilshire Center/Koreatown area of central Los Angeles, serving students from Pico Union and other neighboring communities, which, taken together, comprise the most densely populated area in California. The school-age population in this area is predominantly Latino (84%) and low-income (89%), with 50% classified as English Language Learners.
Unlike charter schools that recruit students from across the city, RFK Community Schools serve neighborhood students and in so doing relieves nearby severely overcrowded sites.
We
UCLA-CS is located in the Central Los Angeles Learning Center #1, more commonly referred to as the Ambassador Schools Complex, which will house in 2010 six Pilot Schools serving both K-12 and 9-12 student populations. The historic school site has been developed in collaboration with the Robert F. Kennedy Commission and several community-based organizations.
The sad sad reality is MOST schools being built around the country are obscenely ornate structures. Sure, they have to last a long time, but taxpayers are footing the bills. It would be interesting to know what the AVERAGE cost of building a new high school is., and how much it is effecting our taxes.
In San Antonio, School Taxes are crazy high - lumped in with our property taxes. Actually it is the bulk of our property taxes... which is extremely high. I certainly don’t see the quality of education rising., I see the various district School Boards trying to out-do one another.
Gotta love the timing on this one. I hope they have a huge ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring Hussein, Moonbeam, Babs, Nancy, a boatload of drunk Kennedys, Darryl Hannah, and a huge seething mob of “La Raza” gangbangers, all just weeks before the election!
