Oh, neat. There’s just updated API data<\/a> for CA schools earlier this week on 5\/13.<\/p>\n

I’m finding all the information both pleasant and frustrating. Pleasant that it’s available for all so easily, yet tricky to understand in plain English<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What I looked at is the API data files 2009-2010 (2009 Base API-Data File DBF<\/a>). Below are the top ten CA High School rankings without<\/strong> looking at special education, alternative models (ASAM), small size, or charter schools.<\/p>\n

2009-2010 CA Base <\/em>API High Schools<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Gretchen Whitney High<\/li>\n
  2. Oxford Academy<\/li>\n
  3. California Academy of Mathematics and Sc<\/li>\n
  4. Mission San Jose High<\/li>\n
  5. Lowell High<\/li>\n
  6. San Marino High<\/li>\n
  7. Monta Vista High<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. Saratoga High<\/li>\n
  9. Miramonte High<\/li>\n
  10. Troy High<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Note that Lynbrook is next at #11 after Troy High.<\/p>\n

    For comparison, here is the same list based on the Growth API instead of Base.<\/p>\n

    2009-2010 CA Growth<\/em> API High Schools<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Gretchen Whitney High<\/li>\n
    2. Oxford Academy<\/li>\n
    3. California Academy of Mathematics and Sc<\/li>\n
    4. Lowell High<\/li>\n
    5. Mission San Jose High<\/li>\n
    6. San Marino High<\/li>\n
    7. Monta Vista High<\/strong><\/li>\n
    8. Saratoga High<\/li>\n
    9. Miramonte High<\/li>\n
    10. Lynbrook High<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Troy is #11 in the growth basis.<\/p>\n

      The list is largely unchanged between the base and the subsequent growth API update.<\/p>\n

      I think it’s interesting since I attended Monta Vista High and students largely hold a grudge against MV for being so book focused and competitive. Parents, on the other hand, do whatever they can to get into the school so that their children will have a (theoretically) better future.<\/p>\n
