Asian is a broad category. When we talk about asian in good district, it mainly refers to Chinese, Indian and Korean in terms of population. Of course there are still quite a lot Vietnamnese, Philipino in good district like CV, but percentage is small.
The asian student population is the key factor of why Canyon Crest Academy and Westview High API score ramping up so quickly in last several years. Next, we’ll see the same happens on Del Norte High. For real estate, usually more asian family means more stable house price and good school.
Also another interesting observation is the asian family likes new communities even high MR associated. In PHR, THR, Del Sur, 4S Ranch, 50-80% buyers are asian families since 2008. So there is no guess the schools around those communities will go up.
But in 92130, 92129, 92127. The high school API are largely contributed from asian (Chinese, Indian and Korean) students’ excellent academy. Of course a large percentage of their parents are new immigrants with high education background and high pay also.
I think API (score) wise, it mainly depends on the asian student percentage, the higher the better. You can see asian family cramped in Pacific Highland Ranch, and all new communities south of 56 in CV, so it’s no wonder why CV school doing good. Similarly, if you look at 4S an Del Sur, more and more asian families moving in, it’ll not only stablize the housing price but also boosting the school reputation IMHO.
