According to Associated Press, the Los Angeles Unified School District, the nation’s second-largest, is the bastion for said schools despite having recent trouble in its educational department.

The RFK complex follows two other LA schools among the nation's costliest: the $377 million Edward R. Roybal Learning Center, which opened in 2008, and the $232 million Visual and Performing Arts High School that debuted in 2009.
