So, although stereotypically speaking, higher API score is tied to socioeconomics. I’m sure there are many many exceptions to that stereotype. Another comparison that would challenge this stereo type is, why Point Loma HS and UCHS score below MMHS, yet, they’re both in much more expensive areas.[/quote]
certainly there’s going to be individual differences school to school. but I do think the Asian exception is a pretty set item.
as for Point Loma. in comparison to other areas with similar income level, homeownership rate is lower. which does allow more lower income families into the area, diluting the school API figure. Again, MM doesn’t fit because of the Asian exception.
