Prior to its opening, the school building project was known as Central Los Angeles Area New High School #10.The school took many students who were enrolled in Belmont High School and chose to transfer, as well as students who were unable to attend overcrowded local schools, and had been bussed to nearby schools throughout their entire academic careers. The three Small Learning Communities (SLCs) were originally established at Belmont High School and essentially moved their entire community (teachers and students) to the new complex. The three SLCs were Academic Learning Complex (ALC), Business and Tourism (BT) and Social Justice (SJ). This will be the protocol for other new schools in the area that will aim to relieve the overcrowding at Belmont as it transitions into a 6-12 school.

Roybal will accommodate approximately 2,500 students, which will alleviate enrollment at Belmont High which is currently 5,500 students. RLC has two independent pilot schools—Civitas School of Leadership (Civitas SOL) and School for Visual Arts and Humanities (SVAH)—as well as its own SLCs: International School of Languages (ISOL), Activists for Educational Empowerment (AEE), Business and Finance Academy (BFA), and Computer Science Academy (CSA). Each Academy has its own purpose and different techniques of teaching. BFA is more about involving students with the business atmosphere, ISOL helps students that usually are new to this country and need help with the English language, CSA is more about involving students with the computer atmosphere, and lastly AEE provides their students with a sense of empowerment and helps them get involved.
