I’m not sure why some schools get tinged with stigma while others get not as well deserved props.
AN opened my eyes about Mira Mesa high school a while back. They’ve got great scores.
My kids will be going to University City high – which has a great reputation… but the latest API scores are lower than Mira Mesa HS.
It just goes to show that reputation and hard data don’t always align.
(FWIW – breaking it down to subgroups – white/asian/filipino do equally well in both schools, UCHS & MMHS (mid 800’s), and better than the school overall.)
