[quote]one thing that impresses me about San Marcos high schools are their Hispanic numbers. they really made an effort to pull up this historically low performing group. while there is still a gap in comparison to Whites, I would say to be able to get this group in the mid 700’s is strong work on SMUSD’s part.

Well, there are hispanics and there are hispanics. Eastlake High has average Hispanic API of 741 and Bonita Vista High is at 779, but arguably that’s not because (or not just because) they do a better job educating hispanics.

From looking at the numbers, it seems that San Marcos hispanics have around 30 API points on San Dieguito hispanics already at the elementary level.
