This is a classic example of SoCalization. (warning: tvtropes link)

Public school architecture. Instead of a single large school building, most California schools use a "campus" design with several structures (often single story) surrounding a courtyard, to take advantage of the generally good weather during the autumn and winter months (note: Obviously, schools located at higher altitudes don't.) The courtyard is usually where lockers and lunch tables are located. Unless it's explicitly set in the warmer parts of California (or another area with a mild climate), a movie or TV show about high school will look really odd to most people if it shows the characters congregating outdoors in a courtyard or walking to class through a covered walkway.

Yep. I can confirm that this is really what SoCal schools are like. I had no idea schools had covered walkways in most of America because it was literally nothing I'd ever experienced.
Then again, I also had no idea you didn't have to pay for your books in public school and that some schools allowed tank tops (my Catholic school NEVER allowed tank tops, even on special jeans days).

Heh, I went to a Catholic school in SoCal too, anon! Tanks were never allowed, although you could wear a dress with them to mass if you wore a sweater the entire school day over your ~exposed shoulders~ ooh.

Although my school was built on a big hill, so it was a bunch of one-story buildings snaking around the sides of the hill with a 2-story class building, the administrative offices, and the cafeteria at the top of the hill. While I was there, they built a 3-story science building at the western base of the hill. You could eat in the cafeteria (also our "theatre" in my day, so I spent a lot of time there), or outside on the east side of the hill, called the "senior lawn" even though anyone could eat there. My friends and I did every day unless it was raining.

A few years after I left, they built a giant-ass expensive performing arts complex on the senior lawn. I'm not kidding when I say this thing is fancier than many a professional theatre in the LA area. I like the thing, but I miss the big sloping lawn and trees.
