Alright, if you take exception to those special schools in SDUSD, lets look at the top 5 traditional HS in SDUSD.
Scripps Ranch High 900
Mira Mesa High 861
La Jolla High 854
University City High 825
Point Loma High 812
Now, lets reorder the PUSD:
Westview High 872
Poway High 868
Del Norte High 865
Rancho Bernardo High 848
Mt. Carmel High 821
So, the top SDUSD school score 28 points higher than the top PUSD school. The 5th SDUSD school score 9 points lower than the 5th PUSD school. So, SDUSD have a bigger varriance than PUSD. Now, the average for PUSD is still slightly higher. PUSD average is 854 while SDUSD average is 850. That’s less than 0.5% different. Not a big deal to me.
When you count those special schools w/in SDUSD, then the top 7 schools does out pace PUSD. I don’t know why you take exception to those special schools w/in SDUSD. If you live in SDUSD and want to, you can apply to get your kids into those special schools, minus the Preuss School. If you just count traditional HS, then SDUSD, IMHO, is on par with PUSD.
