[quote=bearishgurl]Brian, I live in Chula Vista, which, incidentally, has MUCH higher scores for the “Hispanic” population than these other “coveted” schools can seem to muster. What does that tell you about the teachers in these “top schools,” overall?? WHO exactly are they “catering to” all day??[/quote]
What it tells you is that well educated hispanic families tend to buy newer homes and congregate in Chula Vista while the hispanic kids in carmel Valley tend to come from long time hispanic families that tend to be lower income. Its not the job the schools are doing rather it is the families the kdis are coming from. Great schools are more about immersing your kids in a challenging/competitive environment and instilling that in them at an early age than having great teachers who can be anywhere.
