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

[quote=bearishgurl][quote=enron_by_the_sea]Cool. That one is in lakeside

I also missed Canyon Crest Academy – 894

So we do have some hope…

Still I am amazed to see the following

Gretchen Whitney High, Cerritos – 988
American Indian Public High Oakland – 976 (I thought Oakland had bad schools)
Oakland Charter high -961 (Again)[/quote]

Guess some charter concepts must be working, enron.

Well, shades of Jack London, enron :=) Don’t forget, location, location, location!

enron, the “Oakland” of today is NOT the same “Oakland” we remember from 35-45 years ago, (if you’re old enough to remember it, lol). No longer do you see a rioted, burnt-out moonscape there when rising up to an above-ground BART stop. Oakland is actually EXPENSIVE and DESIRABLE to live in now. Two of my kids attended a concert in July there at the Oracle Arena and told me that they saw thousands of kids in attendance between the ages of 10-15 years old, unattended, who boarded the public buses and BART to get home by themselves at 10:30 p.m., as THEY did.

Those outdated notions about Oakland floating around must still be alive and well with those unfamiliar with the HUGE progress this city has made in liveability over the last 35 years or so.[/quote]

Ha ha, I visit my parents there(Oakland) every couple of months,18 ave and Foothill, and I can tell you that nothing, absolutely nothing has changed in any meaningful way from the time I lived there 1967- 1989. Sure they built some nice row houses and restaurants along Jack London Square but it is still not a place where you don’t keep an eye out by any means. Its too bad my parents were too stubborn to get out of there in 05 when they had a better chance to sell their 100 yr old house.

outtamojo, what HS did you graduate from? And did you really hate growing up there?

Maybe your parents like living there :=) If their ‘hood is 100 yrs old, it must be quite interesting. Is their property currently benefiting from the Mills Act and/or Prop 13?? Maybe you might not want them to sell it, outtamojo. As an heir, this would be an awesome property to inherit in this state, IMO.

Around the time the OAK Coliseum/Arena (now Oracle arena) was first built, we went there to see the BB Ringling Bros circus. After the show, a large group of Hells Angels got into a tussle with the cops and just ripped up the parking lot . . . lol. Everyone in line to leave the coliseum had to turn off their engines and remain in their vehicles for well over an hour while they cops called in some tear gas units :={

Leaving in 2 wks to go back up myself.

I do not enjoy the feeling of eyes on me, sizing me up, calculating the risk/reward of perpetrating some kind of thuggery on my person- no thanks. As for “interesting” neighborhood, not at all in any benign way.

outtamojo, I wasn’t trying to pry and don’t really care enough to. You just sounded like you hated your hometown and were glad to get away and you are entitled to your feelings about a place.

I personally would LOVE to own a property with either Prop 13 or Mills Act tax treatment (where it was or what it looked like would be secondary to me).

If I could relocate to NoCal, even back to Alameda County NOW, I would not be sitting here working but would be packing instead. That’s how *I* feel about it. After 35+ years, I’m totally fed up with the “sunshine tax.”

I too, feel as you do about my privacy.
