It does. But in the meantime, more on the new school:

Los Angeles school district’s new high school, the brainchild of Andre “Dr. Dre” Young and fellow music industry mogul Jimmy Iovine, is called the Iovine and Young Center Integrated Design, Technology, and Entrepreneurship Magnet, a high school based at Audubon Middle School in the Leimert Park neighborhood.

The star power of the school’s namesakes has helped to draw first-year and sophomore students, and educators hope the school will serve as a bright spot for reversing declining enrollment by engaging young minds in cool and cutting edge ways.

The state of California and the Los Angeles Unified School District achieved record-high graduation rates last year despite the lingering effects of the crippling pandemic and a historic spike in student absences, prompting both praise and skepticism over the new numbers.

For the high school class that graduated in 2022, the percentage of students who earned a diploma in four years in Los Angeles Unified — the nation’s second-largest school system — was 86%. The rate for all of California was 87.4%. The graduation figures were released this week.

For the state, this figure was a nearly 4 percentage point increase from the 83.6% rate of the 2020-21 academic year. For L.A. Unified, there was about a 4.5 percentage point increase from 81.6%, a continuation of an ongoing trend of annual graduation-rate increases.
