[quote=Eugene][quote]Brian, I live in Chula Vista, which, incidentally, has MUCH higher scores for the “Hispanic” population than these other “coveted” schools can seem to muster. [/quote]
It’s pure socioeconomic status, silly. It works like this.
980: upper middle/upper class Asians
900: middle class Asians ?: lower class Asians (do we have any in San Diego?)
970: upper middle/upper class whites (e.g. Torrey Pines Elementary, Rancho Santa Fe Elementary, Curie Elementary)
850: middle class whites
780: white trash
880: upper middle class hispanics (Bonita, Eastlake)
800: middle class hispanics
700: lower class hispanics/foreign born[/quote]
Eugene, could you elaborate which schools you read those API scores from? And are they the latest “2010 Growth API’s??”
And the answer to your question (bolded) is, yes there are. In Paradise Hills (92139), Skyline/Valencia Park (92114), National City (91950), Central Otay Mesa (92154), Linda Vista (92111), parts of Mira Mesa (92126) and parts of Eastlake (91913). (Not sure about where in North County.) Their socioeconomic status may not have anything to do with their API scores, however.
