However, my main point is that SA needs to establish an identity that is unique to their strengths. To establish a niche that other OC communities are not pursuing, rather than copying what is being done across its' borders.
Yea, good point.

Santa Ana is starting to have more nice pockets, how someone referred to Costa Mesa to me years back.

Driving in SA today. Nice new development on Fairview and Alton, but the rest of the area, run down.

Driving up Bristol north of MacArthur it just get run down and gritty.

I don't understand how Mater Dei stays there they are surrounded by ghetto with a bunch of white kids from South County going there with cars worth more than mine.

The neighborhood right off 17th and Flower has some really nice maintained homes, some fully restored Victorians.

Mater Dei is actually pretty diverse, and forty percent of all students receive need-based financial assistance. The school is pretty impressive. I'm learning more and more (positive things) about Santa Ana.

"Students
Our students come from every city in Orange County bringing a variety of gifts and talents to a large school with a small school atmosphere. Just as a family cares for each individual, so does Mater Dei. When young people and their parents get to know the Mater Dei family, they want to become a part of it.

Culturally Diverse
  • 48% Caucasian
  • 31% Hispanic
  • 15% Asian
  • 3.5% African-American
  • 3% Native American
  • 1% Pacific Islander
Number exceeds 100% due to reporting of multiple ethnicities"
Mater Dei High School
