[quote=Rhett]. . . there actually is a not so insignificant amount of choice students in La Jolla High – so it’s less of a closed community at that level than would seem at first glance. . . . [/quote]
Rhett, I believe you are referring to VEEP and magnet students as the out-of-area students attending LJ High. I would imagine that zero or close to zero CHOICE applications are granted to attend that school.
Many of the (deserving) VEEP students attending LJ High typically hail from the Abraham Lincoln and Samuel Morse HS attendance areas and must keep their grade point averages up every semester to maintain their VEEP transfer eligibility.
