[quote=AN] Then there’s the coveted San Dieguito. SDUSD’s top 4 average out higher than SDUH 4 HS. What’s also funny is, MMHS, which is #6 in SDUSD scores better than 2 out of the 4 HS in SDUH.[/quote]

My theory is that opening up of Canyon Crest has resulted into lowering of APIs of all the other HS of SDUH. Now there might be a new dynamic where all the high scoring student body in SDUH could be herding themselves into Canyon Crest, thereby resulting to very high API for Canyon Crest; but lower API for TPHS.

To some extent this dynamic plays into SDUSD also. Because of Choice and seminar and so on, I see many motivated parents moving their kids into Scripps Ranch schools (and eventually buying here when they realize that dropping off kids every day is such a waste of time.) This results into higher API for Scripps Ranch and lower API for say Mira Mesa.
