Thanks. I was looking at the 2010 APIs for high schools, as an example.
San Marcos High has a 2010 API of 829!- higher than any of the other Carlsbad high schools! Mission Hills high (also SMUSD) API is 839. Which makes the high schools in Carlsbad/San Marcos pretty closely rated to the ones in the famous Poway Unified which are 850s (Mt. Carmel High in PQ is 818)…Other Carslbad high schools APIs: La Costa Canyon – 818, and Carlsbad High- 812. Compare this to High Schools of – University City (795), Mira Mesa (818), La Jolla (841), and Torrey Pines (870).
Of course, API is not all that there is to a school.
