skewing the results.

The test results are out and this what the results look like from schools in the area..

school	2009 score	2009 Asians	2008	enrollment
grimmer	800	-	762	38/243
Hirsch	846	921	836	83/236
Leitch	959	980	956	132/178
mission sj elem	993	999	988	442/486

Looks like asians in the area skew the results quite a bit.

School starts

Sept 2, 2009 is first day of school for Fremont Unified School District.
My daughter got overloaded to Grimmer Elementary. The school is located 3.2 miles from James Leitch. She got into the afternoon batch. The school and teachers look good. Time will tell about the education. There seems to be a good mix of ethnicity in the class. I wonder why the API scores are low for this school. The school was well prepared for my daughter. Her name was on the roster and the class teacher had made nice name signs for all her students.

We got a letter saying that we were 22 in the wait list for James Leitch. When the first list was out we were 24th on the wait list. Another parent called and we figured that a few students had dropped and we should be 17 on the wait list as of today .i.e. first day of school.

The schools will get a clearer picture of the wait list after 3 days of school + labor day.
