Document Description
The Lynwood Unified School District proposes to construct a new high school for approximately 1,600 students on a 14.8 acre site in the City of Lynwood, located at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Wright Road (refer to figures 1 and 2). The District is facing an increase in high school students, as a result of the overall population growth in the area. In addition, the existing Lynwood High School was originally designed with a capacity for 3,472 students but currently enrolls approximately 4,300 students (i.e., approximately 800 students over capacity). As existing middle school and elementary students grow older, high school enrollment demand will increase further. The proposed new high school would relieve overcrowding at the existing high school and accommodate the projected enrollment demand. No overall increase in district enrollment is projected as a result of the porposed project. Construction would include approximately 162,000 gross square feet of classrooms, gymnasium, and adiministrative and related support space, including a multi-purpose activity center (see figure 3).
