I've been hearing about how some public schools in the US are insanely funded and their facilities are off the charts. So which one holds the title for the most expensive?
The title for the most expensive public high school in the United States is currently held by Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools in Los Angeles, California. Costing approximately $578 million to build, it was designed as a 24-acre complex with a multitude of facilities and resources. Please note that these costs refer to the construction and establishment of the school, not the ongoing operating or per-student costs. Thus, this doesn't necessarily mean that this institution spends the most annually on its students. That can vary greatly across the country, due to differences in local property taxes, per-pupil financing, and state funding laws.
