Whites are the majority in University City High. Point Loma High and Clairemont High are close to 50:50.

The real question though is not the majority race today, but the majority race post-split. Without bused inner-city kids, University City, Point Loma, Scripps Ranch, and Clairemont High would all have >50% whites, and La Jolla High would be white as sour cream (mixed with a small dose of miso soup).[/quote]

University City HS
37% white, 34% hispanic.

Point Loma HS
47% hispanic, 41% white

Madison HS
49% hispanic, 26% white

Kearny HS
38% hispanic, 19% white

Mira Mesa HS
30% filipino, 20% asian, 20% white

Scripps HS
48% white, 19% asian (closest to 50% white)

La Jolla HS
59% white, 26% hispanic (only one w/ 50+% white)

Some reference to other schools not in SDUSD:
Torrey Pines HS
62% white, 24% asian

Canyon Crest Academy
84% white, 9% asian

Westview HS
57% white, 21% asian

Mt. Carmel HS
52% white, 14% asian

RB HS
61% white, 16% asian

So, bottom line is, even w/ LJHS being the highest % of white, it’s still only on the bottom end when compare to other schools in better districts.

[quote=Eugene]Which raises an important point. Schools in white areas are underpopulated. There aren’t enough neighborhood children to fill them. Thus the busing. The proposed coastal district takes all white schools except Henry High. That would make all schools left in SDUSD severely overpopulated.[/quote]
Please look at the above data to disprove your statement of “Schools in white areas are underpopulated. There aren’t enough neighborhood children to fill them.” Students are being bussed to MMHS, yet, MMHS itself is overcrowded. It has always been overcrowded, that’s why Scripps Ranch was created, to reduce the overcrowding. If other areas down south are even more overcrowded, why waste money and time busing students instead of just build more or bigger school in areas where they live? Unless you want to propose a voucher system, which I would totally support.
