How to find out good schools in S. California. Are API scores the only source?

I recommend sitting in on classes. Just because schools have high scores does NOT mean they are good schools. Infact, it is easy to manipulate that type of data. Actually drop by (unannounced) and see what the reaction is. Does the school welcome you? Do they ask for identification? They should....otherwise your children won't be safe there. Do they let you sit in on classes that day or do they make you schedule an appointment. If you must schedule an appointment ditch that school!!! It means they want to show you something that doesn't exist in every classroom. Talk to the teachers who work there. Go to PTA meetings and see what they're talking about.

California has three systems of universities -- the University of California system is made up of high quality research schools and are all very good and very selective.  Cal State Universities are generally not research universities and are less selective.  Then there are community colleges.\n\nUCSD is an excellent school.  US News & World Reports ranks its undergraduate program as #32.  For Public Universities that is just behind UNC and just ahead of Wisconsin.  UCLA is ranked #25 and Berkeley the top ranked public university at #20.\n\nWhile UCLA and UC-Berkeley are only ranked slightly higher at the undergraduate level, UCLA would be a better choice for graduate school than UCSD, while UC-Berkeley would be far superior to either school in most fields.\n\nThere are lots of guides that you should look at if you are considering these schools.

go to www.maricopa.gov, there's a link for the schools and you can search by school or district to see the ratings of the school. Using that is why we moved to the Peoria School District (wanted the westside).

http://www.greatschools.net/cgi-bin/cs_compare/or/?level=h&area=t&city=Portland&sortby=name&tab=over&begin=0&showall=1\n\nThat's the site you should go to.\n\nIt gives you different demographics, test results, reviews, and other things on the schools.\n\nThe Portland school district really isn't in the best shape as a whole, though.\n\nAs that site will show you, Lincoln High School is the best. They have MUCH higher overall test scores than any of the other Portland high schools.
