Personally, the API score is as flawed as the median housing price. Certain schools have much more diversity than others, which greatly affected the score. If you take just a single API score to judge a school, it’s almost like taking a median housing price to determine the strength of the housing market. The picture you’ll see, when you drill down to the different races will show a slightly better picture. Kind of like drilling down to the different zip codes to get a slightly better picture. I think school is only just one of the many factors in determining a premium of an area.
