[quote=bearishgurl][quote=sdrealtor]As for the lower scores I dont know the area as well as you but here is what I see many places. If there is alot of multi-family housing (i.e apartments like in UTC nearby) you draw a lower socio-economic demographic in. Do the kids who live in UTC attend UC high? If so that is probably what is going on.[/quote]
92122 multi-family about half UC and half LJ, slanting more to UC.[/quote]
UTC area is full of UCSD grad students, postdocs and staff. Many may be English second language, but their kids are generally smart and learn quickly – since their parents are highly educated and value education as well. They may be poor and therefore not able to donate much to the schools but I don’t think their kids would pull down the API of a school, on the contrary.
But anyhow, whatever one may think about the people in the multi-family building in UTC – where I lived quite a few years, BTW – I don’t think the situation has changed in the last years, to affect the recent UC schools drop in API.
