School test scores… like ’em or not, they’re out for the 2009/2010 year

The reason why Filipinos are considered separately is because of the history of them being a US territory. As such, they were considered to be different than other Asian/Pacific Islanders.

Even though they are no longer a US territory, this separation in statistics lives on.

Now as for what Filipinos really are.

They are part of the Malay race which basically includes Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. The 3 nations are really one people, except they were colonized by different type of white folks. Therefore, they adopted different ways of romanizing their languages.

As for the Malays and their relations to the Pacific Islanders. The relationship is quite close. As Pacific Islanders originate in large part from the Malay people.

Are the Malays and other East Asians the same? Absolutely not. Completely different stock in term of origin.

Are Malays, East Asians, Pacific Islanders all counted into one single basket statistically? Yes, but excluding the Filipinos for reasons given earlier.

I think the reason why Filipinos are broken out in terms of education is due the them being a US territory. Due this this, the use of English is prevalent in the Philippines. If you ever watch Filipino TV, they mix English in everywhere.

This gave Filipinos a leg up over other Asians during the 1980s, a recent height of Asian immigration.

I’ve also noticed they break out a group of people called Hmong on some applications. The Hmong are a small group, but known to be the poorest of Asian groups.

As for Pacific Islanders, the term seems to apply to Polynesians.

Can someone explain to my why a school like Poinsettia Elementary in Carlsbad lists 90 of 299 students as socioeconomically challenged?

http://api.cde.ca.gov/AcntRpt2010/2009BaseSch.aspx?allcds=37735510113498

What exactly defines that status? That seems rather high for an area like La Costa Greens.

pjwal, aren’t there some Section 8 apt. complexes within the City of Carlsbad?

Don’t exactly know where this school is, but are there still a couple of small trailer parks in Leucadia and/or Cardiff? Does this school district bus any of its students?

Have all the migrant farm-worker camps around there been cleaned up? Where do these farm workers live now? Perhaps on their employers’ land, in trailers?

The name “Poinsettia” is a red flag to me. Where are all the poinsettia greenhouses relative to this school??

IMHO, NO PUBLIC SCHOOL in CA (except perhaps those schools situtated within covenants whose district DOES NOT bus into them) is immune to disadvantaged children attending it.
