LA is one of the poorest large metropolitan areas in the United States. Asking how Beverly Hills schools are is like asking about schools on the Upper East Side or the rich areas in NYC (NY is richer and more educated than LA, you know?)

In general, NYC schools are better than LA schools. We are talking about LA schools hidden behind the prison gates/barb wires marked for territory by the Cholos and the Crips with dry blood and needles all over the filthy spray painted floors of the cemented playgrounds and tattooed students with eyebrows drawn in by sharpie markers.

You know what who cares what you think. Your pretentious, ignorant and provincial. What would you know about anything besides new york? You honestly think that 12 million people would live in the LA region if it had crap education? Your obviously not educated and make trivial statments.

How is LA one of the poorest metro areas? It's public schools are certainly lacking, but that has more to do with the city's economy hurting right now and the idiocy in local government.

The median household income in the New York area is $51,000 in L.A. metro it's $46,000 except the cost of living is higher in New York.

Many times. LA just isn't a city people from top schools want to go to. It's not my fault. It just isn't a "yuppie" type city like NY/SF/Washington DC. Only wanabe Hollywood rejects from the midwest find LA attractive.

Yes exactly. All of california's schools are being rendered senselessly by the economy not just LA.

Oh shut up! California in general isn't where you go for top universities. We all know that they are all on the east coast anyway. That isn't LA's fault.

Both cities aren't growing very much from people "wanting" to move there. With domestic migration in the United States, more people move OUT of New York City Metro and Los Angeles Metro than in. The way these cities are growing is by having a higher birth rate to compensate for those leaving and by immigration from foreign countries/illegal immigration.

So for every "yuppie" American that moves into New York Metro, two people are leaving. Why do more people move out of New York than in???
