<p>“I don’t know where any “open enrollment” public schools are. In Calif and here in Alabama, a kid has to attend where he lives. The “white” schools in Cal and AL certainly do have below average kids.”</p>
<p>Relative to the rest of the state, in aggregate, hardly (check out the data for yourself - all you have to do is look at average “school performance” data.) (Caveat in parts of California for the number of Japanese/Chinese/Korean/Indian-American students - not Asian, though - likely the worst performing schools in the state are in Fresno, with the highest population of Hmong/Mien/Upland Lao Asian students.)(I misused the term “open enrollment” - all I meant is that one didn’t have to take a test to get in.)</p>
