I do not like polls... where the voters ID is seen. As least till you yourself vote. WHY... Because you see the votes are across the board by homerism. Or basically where they live or city they love.... virtually ALL the votes went that way. So I would not vote.
CSAs? If your first comparison is MSAs, I would think you would continue with that in your thread. Are you just including CSAs, so certain cities can capture rankings that aren't in their MSAs???
You just cannot reason, can you? A state with a 51% participation rate and a 70% participation rate CANNOT BE COMPARED realistically. Do you have any idea how much of a difference a gap like that produces in these scores? If CA had a participation rate similar to states like MA or CT, its unimpressive score of 1503 (considering its low part. rate) would drop like a rock.
I don't know why you keep posting this anyway. CA should score much higher than 1503 with a participation rate as low as it is. Mass crushes it.
If these scores in the Bay Area are actually a measure of the k-12 quality in the Bay Area, Asians wouldn't dominate as a population the top 5 schools with the highest SAT scores in the Bay. In reality, no, the Bay Area does not have better schools. The sole cause of the Bay having more schools with higher SAT scores is because of a high scoring racial demographic's presence in one metro vs the other. If it had anything to do with school quality in the Bay Area, a minority wouldn't absolutely dominate every single school in the top 5.
Yes yes we know, Asians mess everything up for you, Mr. Broken record that no one is listening to.
In the meantime, yes the Bay Area's top schools do appear to be better than Boston's based on the only real standardized test that exists, the SAT.

If the k-12 quality was the factor, the top 5 schools in the Bay would not be dominated by Asians. It would have to be some hell of a coincidence that 5 out of the 5 best schools in the Bay are overwhelming Asian majorities if it relates more to system quality than demographics.

Im starting to understand your preoccupation with race. Boston is nearly 80% White so for Non Whites to be so prominent is a really big deal for you.

Every single one of those within the state of Mass is in the Boston CSA. So that's 12 for the Boston CSA only in Mass. You have left out the fact that the Boston CSA lies in 3 different states, especially NH, which (just before 2nd place Mass) has the highest average SAT score in the nation. For one example, Bedford in NH is in the Boston CSA, and has an average SAT score of 1830.
also while great to have the top schools they represent how many of the total in school?
not kocking anything as CA schools and their univerities are fantastic
CA and the Northeast probably have the best available educations in the US at most levels, all excel really with some glaring diffeciencies (take the Philadelphia proper school system) yet the majority of the metro is stellar including colleges.
look at NJ it had like half of the top 10 public high schools in US as recently rated but again these are places that excel that said a list of 12 or 20 schools is just that, to me the average or median score may actually be more interesting here
Boston is a mecca for rich old educated white people. This isn't news.
Its the quintessential city for Stuff White People Like.
