One interesting I noticed while looking at a whole bunch of different HS with rank 8-10, I noticed that the more diverse the school, the more likely for it be be ranked 9 or 8 vs ranked 10. If you look at the Asian/White/Filipino scores between MM/Scripps/RB/Westview/Mt. Carmel/UC/etc. They all are quite similar +/- 20 points. However, those that are ranked 8&9 on that list have a higher % of black/hispanic/Socioeconomically Disadvantaged/English Learners. The more I look at the numbers in detail, the less I’m impressed with the rank 10 API schools.[/quote]
Eastlake schools fits that scenario that AN described above (not necessarily disadvantaged/blacks but heavy Hispanic population). Take Eastlake and Olympian for examples:
Other Asians population on these schools are small so there’s no data for them, but their score is probably comparable, if not higher, to Filipinos and Whites.
As you can see the difference between Filipino/White and Hispanic scores is about 100 points. The Hispanic population of these schools are about 50%. Compare that to schools in PUSD w/c on average has about 10% or less Hispanics.
As AN said above, if you analyze the numbers and the demographics, the less impression you got from the 9 or 10 schools.
