[quote=esmith]Some interesting API observations.

“2008 Growth API” of non-hispanic whites in Monterey Ridge Elementary (4S Ranch north of Camino Del Norte) (904) is lower than API of non-hispanic whites in L.R.Green Elementary (southeast Escondido) (909); San Elijo Elementary (916); and Knob Hill Elementary (northeast San Marcos) (922).

16% of students in Monterey Ridge Elementary are “socioeconomically disadvantaged”. How can you be socioeconomically disadvantaged and live in 4S Ranch at the same time? What’s going on?[/quote]
Also, Sandburg Elementary (Mira Mesa) (908). One interesting statistic is, “Social-Economically Disadvantaged” in Sandburg score (838) while “Social-Economically Disadvantaged” in Monterey Ridge Elementary is (771).

[quote=asianautica] To those who thinks students from low income students can’t do well, you might want to check out Preuss School UCSD.[/quote]

Preuss, are you serious? They are a prime example of what’s wrong with charter schools, rampant cheating and fraud.

Also, Sandburg Elementary (Mira Mesa) (908).

The pattern is only partially reversed in corresponding high schools:

San Marcos High: 848
Mt Carmel High: 839
San Pasqual High: 835
Mira Mesa High: 815

IOW, much of the differences between scores in the prestigious Poway School District and sub-par San Marcos/Escondido schools can be explained purely by the race factor.

P.S. it looks like the problem is with 4S North specifically. If you rank all schools using non-hispanic white scores, Stonebridge and 4S North are ranked below median in Poway district, #90 and #93 countywide respectively (out of 450 schools). But since they have large numbers of Asians, their overall API scores look good. Conversely, San Elijo Elementary is #50 by non-hispanic white scores, but it has much fewer Asians and more Hispanics, so it ends up ranked slightly lower overall.
