[quote=AN]BG, you’re right, Hoover attendance doesn’t include El Cajon. I was assuming since it’s on El Cajon Blvd, it’s El Cajon area, but it turns out to be not the case. Here’s Hoover’s attendance map: http://california.hometownlocator.com/schools/profiles,n,hoover%20high,z,92115,t,pb,i,1016697.cfm

But that’s besides the point. My point is, the students that goes to Hoover HS are low income. http://api.cde.ca.gov/Acnt2011/2011GrowthSch.aspx?cYear=2005-06&allcds=37-683383732997. Based on the total number of students tested for their API score: 1364, the Socioeconomically Disadvantaged group is 1364 students.

Now, for the rest of your statement, it’s hogwash. Asian is not a homogenous group and they all don’t speak the same language. So, having a Chinese teacher teaching a bunch of Japanese students would be no difference than having a White teacher teaching that group of Japanese student. So Asian statement makes absolutely no sense.

WRT Bonita Vista High School, the Hispanic API score is 826, the White API score is 883, while the Asian API score is 933. How many Asian teacher do you see at BVHS vs Hispanic and White teachers?[/quote]

I totally agree that there are different “ethnicities” within the Asian demographic group.

Teachers at BVHS are ALL races but more than half of them are Hispanic (at least part Hispanic) and teachers of “other demographic” there speak Spanish.

“Hispanic” is such a “catch all” term for a portion of the “Caucasian” race. Like, flu said, he intends to change the last name of his daughter before she applies for college (to increase her chances of admission, lol). What’s in a surname? Many persons with “Hispanic” surnames do not possess even one drop of “Hispanic” blood. And how much “Hispanic” blood in them does one need to be officially labeled “Hispanic” or “Latino?” Would 1/2, 1/4 or 1/8 do??
