Mira Mesa High scores very well for a blue collar neighborhood. Actually it has higher “math score” than Scripps Ranch High.

If you click on the school name, you will find the percentage of adult with BS. Assuming that the numbers are correct. La Jolla is only at 38% which is similar to Mira Mesa but Westview has about 50% of adults with BS.

ADDED LATER–NEVER MIND, I think these numbers are probably inaccurate. The 38.9% of adults with BS is probably a city wide number and apparently it is used for many areas including La Jolla and Mira Mesa.

I’m always amazed at people who say they “want diversity” but are averse to sending their kids to school with kids who are in a different SES bracket. True diversity is about different cultural, linguistic and personal experiences not just about the way someone looks (ala black, hispanic or asian). The fact is, if someone has a 6 figure income and a very good education and is black, they probably are not very different than their white neighbors. Where’s the diversity in this?

Go to the “2006-2007 Accountability Progress Report (APR) for the county of San Diego:

http://tinyurl.com/54ed2q

You’ll find a list of all the distrcts and all the schools in those distrcts (may take a few mins to download). Click on a school you are interested in and when that school comes up click on the “demographics”

The best predictor of college is whether parents went to college and this will tell you the percent of parents in that school who graduated from college. It is also interesting to see what percent of parents responded – there are many interesting details that say a lot about the schools.

Read into the information what you want, but when I saw that my neighborhood school only had 22% parent college graduates (plus a few other details) I opted out, and my kids attend a charter school.

Dear stop_the_bubble

Perhaps I was not clear, I am trying to balance the importance of strong college prep with the importance diversity of SES.

I’ve devoted much of my life to improving my understanding of this very complex issues, it effects me everyday. I assure you that your definitions are not necessary, and furthermore they were someone insulting.

I’ll have to assume that I left myself open to it given the simplicity of my word choice, but it still makes my skin crawls when I sense some one is talking down to me.
