The rebuilt Compton High is an advanced $225-million campus aimed at serving the poorest families in California, replacing an outdated school. With a focus on innovative design, the high-tech features include a digital library, expansive classrooms, and high-tech security. Athletic facilities are extensive, offering various sports options, while the performing arts center received a significant donation from local artist Dr. Dre. The new campus symbolizes progress and opportunity for students who previously attended classes in inadequate temporary facilities, reflecting a community-driven effort for educational improvement.
"While we cherish those memories, we also know sometimes, to move forward, we must make tough choices," said school board member.
"The new campus replaces a creaky, 1930s-era school with a dignified facade and bell tower."
"The library has no books; it's all digital. Classrooms feature an expanse of windows and sliding glass doors."
"Athletic facilities include two baseball fields, a football stadium, a soccer field, multiple basketball and tennis courts, a swimming pool and a large gymnasium."
