The Iovine and Young Center will open in summer 2025 for ninth-grade students and expand to the 12th grade by 2028.
Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine — in their second recent public school venture — announced Monday they are partnering with the Inglewood Unified School District to open a new high school, a project the district hopes will lure students and bring a dose of vitality to a district that has been forced to close schools amid declining enrollment for the past decade.
Low birth rates and gentrification have also brought on steep enrollment declines. “We’re going to have the NBA All-Star weekend, FIFA World Cup and the Olympics, but what’s most important is what our kids, the next generation, get out of all this,” Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts Jr. said. “We want parents to want to put their children in the Inglewood Unified School District, because that’s the only future for this district.
