The grand jury just commended Poway Unified for the significant improvement in dropout rate, AP participation, and overall increase in API.
So did the grand jury essentially just commended PUSD for the demographic shift it has seen? After all, SD’s Asian population grew from 249k to 333k during this decade, and I would say the majority of these new Asians ended up either in PUSD or CV, essentially the 56 corridor.
The only part of PUSD that did not see significant growth in the Asian population is old Poway, an area served by Valley Elementary. And that school only saw a bump from 792 API in 2003 to 807 on the latest release. Not exactly the type of stellar improvement that deserves a grand jury special report.
