[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]California has a demographic problem.  There is a very high achieving top end.  However, there is a horribly performing bottom.  Unfortunately those at the bottom vastly outnumber those at the top.  That's why you see states like Florida surpass California in high school testing.  California has desperately tried to raise the bottom performance.  They made illegal the use of the SAT in admissions, made community college free for 2 years, spend 2x as much for Title I schools than more affluent ones.  They pay their teachers the most money of all the states.

But unfortunately it comes down to demographics.[/quote]

Do you have any data and research to back up these claims?  From the outside looking in, there are more than enough students to fill almost every UC, plus a strong community college to UC pipeline plus California exports a ton students to surrounding states.

When you look at just the number of high school seniors graduate in CA, it was over 400,000 last year, that’s likely at least double the number in FL.  If CA even had 70% of their high school graduates college ready, just by numbers that would be more than all the graduating high school seniors in FL and would still I’ll leave more than the number of MD graduating seniors left behind.
