7

<p>it’s a very fine, (and somewhat rich) school. One of the top 100 in the state, according to API scores, but easily outranked by others in The OC.</p>

<p>Newport Beach is hardly anyone’s ghetto. It’s one of the most affluent cities in Orange County.</p>

<p>According to 2000 census data, the median housing price is $708k and median household income is $83k.

<p>The hs has a very high graduation rate with 89% of its students being UC/CSU eligible. SAT stats are respectable but don’t really seem to be super high, considering the school’s demographics (90+% white, 4% asian)…

<p>Yes, I’ve heard of the school; that’s only because my 8th grade history teacher was a graduate of the HS. Otherwise, I haven’t heard about CdMHS at all.</p>

<p>gsp<em>silicon</em>valley, it’s no longer $708K for median house price, that was outdate, it’s more like 2 million.
According to API, it’s nothing compare to other school, but I think they have a very big endowment for a HS($5 million) and good counselors. Kids graduated from this hs, seems to all go to Ivy/East Coast or Stanford, very few UCs. You can see why because, students come from rich family.</p>

<p>Corona del Mar isn’t an exceptionally good high school, but many of the kids that go there are college-bound, with affluence probably one of the contributing factors. </p>

<p>Although it is of equal caliber academically, I think Newport Harbor High School has a bigger reputation than Corona del Mar, probably because their athletics program is better.</p>

<p>*edit: and no, Newport Harbor isn’t “harbor high school” from The OC.</p>

12

<p>the median house price is not 2 million lol i believe 2 years ago it was in the mid 700s</p>

13

<p>shrek2004, if you reread the message, it states 2000 not 2003 for the census.</p>

<p>I have. I live in Orange County and that school is not to far from where I live. Its not a particularly outstanding school. Academically, athletically… Its pretty good for schools in general, but Orange County offers many better schools.</p>

<p>Reputation wise, its ok. Not a school that everyone talks about being super challenging like University (Irvine) or Troy (Fullerton) and its also not a top athletic school like Newport Harbor that’s mentioned above. Overall, CDM is nice, but just not outstanding.</p>

<p>ive heard of that school.</p>
