Preuss school is very selective and you have to fit a certain demographic profile (something like unrepresented minority, 1st generation going to college) to enroll your kids there. They did great — but I can’t enroll my kids there even if I want to.

Kearny International Business and San Diego International Studies are “schools within a school” – only a select part of the student body of the entire high school is participating. I’m sure if you took something like the La Jolla HS seminar and called it “La Jolla International,” their score would be higher, too. Finally, I believe that Mt. Everest Academy is a charter for homeschoolers or something like that.

Still, good job to all of the schools listed. My own SDUSD alma mater is not listed, but did OK as well.

Also, re: PUSD, you left them in alphabetical order rather than sorting by score as you did for SDUSD. Not sure how you say that “the top 7 in SDUSD does a decent job in outplacing PUSD.” Leaving only the traditional high schools which count the entire student body, only Scripps Ranch beats Westview, Poway, and Del Norte.
