Probably a US high school, where off-campus lunch is usually reserved for older students.

That's fine...never heard high school grounds referred to as a campus before so assumed college.
This is fairly common in warmer climes in the US like California. Rather than have a monolithic high school building with lots of wasted space for hallways they will have a bunch of smaller buildings that students go between outside. They are "campuses" in the same sense that various tech companies call their cluster of buildings a "campus".
I remember watching a TV show set in socal (Beverly Hills 90210 maybe?) in the late 80s I think? And them having high schools and even lockers outdoors just blew my mind.
The climate makes it work. I wish it was like that for my high school, but alas we just had the stifling building.
