Nope. In fact one of the school systems that is noticeably worse than CCSD is LAUSD.

You can find places like Irving that are better but then again you can end up in Coronado or send a kid to Clark or Ad Tech. My children did fine in Los Alamitos but I do not think it any better than PV or Coronado. Not as good as the magnet at Clark.

My youngest is a freshman at Clark and she is already taking 2 AP classes. She is always complaining about all the homework every night.

Yes, but LAUSD only covers the schools directly within Los Angeles city limits. The suburban areas all have their own school districts. That makes a difference!

You guys should be able to break CCSD up. I thought this was voted on and approved at the state level when the GOP was in control?

CCSD is not being broken up but instead reorganized into 3 regions headed by a region superintendent. Schools in this plan will have more control of their allotted funding and will have a feeder system from elementary to high school. Each school also has a SOT(school organization team) made up of parents and teachers that will develop spending and needed improvements for each school. https://news3lv.com/news/local/ccsd-...anization-plan

And practically that means that only Coronado has the full blown economic segregation you can find in some of the LA suburban systems. But there are a number of schools that have reasonable demographics and then there are the magnets. At this point the Clark magnet and Meadows are about a tie for the best county school.

Doubtful that the system will ever break along municipal boundaries. Too interlocked. Way too late to establish the urban suburban break.

That could be problematic for Coronado in the long run, especially if a judge with a hair up their butt gives an order to "de-segregate". That's what brought down all of the better LAUSD schools eventually. And, it's now the primary reason parents in LAUSD boundaries are opting to go with charters instead.

It could, IF you're willing to pay for it. The cities of Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, etc., all have their own school districts, but they pay extra taxes to keep it that way.
