[quote=enron_by_the_sea]Cool. That one is in lakeside

I also missed Canyon Crest Academy – 894

So we do have some hope…

Still I am amazed to see the following

Gretchen Whitney High, Cerritos – 988
American Indian Public High Oakland – 976 (I thought Oakland had bad schools)
Oakland Charter high -961 (Again)[/quote]

Guess some charter concepts must be working, enron.

Well, shades of Jack London, enron :=) Don’t forget, location, location, location!

enron, the “Oakland” of today is NOT the same “Oakland” we remember from 35-45 years ago, (if you’re old enough to remember it, lol). No longer do you see a rioted, burnt-out moonscape there when rising up to an above-ground BART stop. Oakland is actually EXPENSIVE and DESIRABLE to live in now. Two of my kids attended a concert in July there at the Oracle Arena and told me that they saw thousands of kids in attendance between the ages of 10-15 years old, unattended, who boarded the public buses and BART to get home by themselves at 10:30 p.m., as THEY did.

Those outdated notions about Oakland floating around must still be alive and well with those unfamiliar with the HUGE progress this city has made in liveability over the last 35 years or so.
