When I first read the title, I thought it was a new college or something. But flippin' high school!?!?! I'm sorry, but just looking at it that is a lot of tax dollars wasted. I know they probably saved some money by using an old IBM building to do it, but some of the areas within that high school look like they're better than some colleges. Put that with a low graduation rate in the area, it just doesn't make sense. Just seems like they could've gotten by with less glam and used some of that other money on textbooks or even toward hiring better teachers if their grad rate sucks that bad.
