Interesting stat. We're at the mid 150k-<200k range. So that makes us at the top 7%? That's hard to imagine because if we go to the mall, we feel that everybody is making way more than us. I often ask my wife where are this people getting their money to buy expensive bags and clothes.

Well, there are hispanics and there are hispanics. Eastlake High has average Hispanic API of 741 and Bonita Vista High is at 779, but arguably that’s not because (or not just because) they do a better job educating hispanics.

From looking at the numbers, it seems that San Marcos hispanics have around 30 API points on San Dieguito hispanics already at the elementary level.[/quote]

I also noticed that the “achievement gap” is getting wider as they approach college age.
Consider these feeder schools to Eastlake High.

Salt Creek
Filipino: 918
White: 907
Hispanic: 857
School: 882

Thurgood Marshall
Filipino: 905
White: 906
Hispanic: 861
School: 889

Olympic View
Filipino: 942
White: 926
Hispanic: 854
School: 886

So in elementary the difference bet. Filipino/White score to that of Hispanics is about 60 points.

Eastlake Middle
Filipino: 892
White: 874
Hispanic: 808
School: 842

Middle school, now the difference is about 75.

Eastlake High
Filipino: 850
White: 833
Hispanic: 741
School: 787

In High School, a whopping 100 points.

Thoughts?

One interesting I noticed while looking at a whole bunch of different HS with rank 8-10, I noticed that the more diverse the school, the more likely for it be be ranked 9 or 8 vs ranked 10. If you look at the Asian/White/Filipino scores between MM/Scripps/RB/Westview/Mt. Carmel/UC/etc. They all are quite similar +/- 20 points. However, those that are ranked 8&9 on that list have a higher % of black/hispanic/Socioeconomically Disadvantaged/English Learners. The more I look at the numbers in detail, the less I’m impressed with the rank 10 API schools.[/quote]

Eastlake schools fits that scenario that AN described above (not necessarily disadvantaged/blacks but heavy Hispanic population). Take Eastlake and Olympian for examples:

Eastlake
Filipino: 850
White: 833
Hispanic: 741
School: 787

Olympian
Filipino: 856
White: 839
Hispanic: 754
School: 792

Other Asians population on these schools are small so there’s no data for them, but their score is probably comparable, if not higher, to Filipinos and Whites.

As you can see the difference between Filipino/White and Hispanic scores is about 100 points. The Hispanic population of these schools are about 50%. Compare that to schools in PUSD w/c on average has about 10% or less Hispanics.

As AN said above, if you analyze the numbers and the demographics, the less impression you got from the 9 or 10 schools.

I lived in Eastlake since 1999 and work in Sorrento Valley/UTC area. We lived in Mira Mesa prior to coming to Eastlake. I can’t say we “really love” this area but we can’t say we hate it either. There are things that I don’t like, but there are things that me and family love as well.

I didn’t grow up here in the States. I came here after college. When I was single I lived all over the country and it’s only when I got married that I settled here in San Diego. We lived in Mira Mesa for less than a year and then we moved to Eastlake. So I really can’t compare Eastlake to any other sub-urban neighborhood here in San Diego.

Commute:
I worked 2-3 days a week from home but if I have to go to the office, I try to avoid the “rush hour” period. But most of the times if I leave at 8 AM, I will be at the office at around 8:40. I’ve lived here in the South Bay long enough that I studied the traffic pattern really well and know what lane to take during traffic. Example of this is on 805 near Plaza, I take the slower lane since it seems faster. Another example is near Balboa and Clairemont. Just before Balboa, I navigate toward the slower lanes and if I see break light ahead, I take the Balboa/Clairemont exit lane, and then merge back again to the freeway. It probably saves me about 10 minutes doing this.

I always take 805 going north and 5 (then 94 then 805) going south. I used to take the Toll Expressway but it’s very expensive and can’t justify the $2.25 that I have to spend for saving about 5 minutes of my commute time.
