I am looking for reviews of Torrance Elementary and Hickory Elementary.
Can we trust GreatSchool's Rating ? Does Race Matter ? (Hickory is overwhelmingly Japanese)

I think you should not trust one Rating to choose a school, but compare several sites.
School Digger ------- https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CA/schoolrank.aspx
Great! Schools.org --- https://www.greatschools.org/california/
Public School Review - https://www.publicschoolreview.com/
There are more if you look into this. And each site has different ratings, so it can be helpful.
If you know how
academic the school is in elementary schools in California as a whole, rather than just comparing within Torrance, you can get a pretty good picture of what is really going on.
I can't list them all, but School Digger, for example, has the following.
Hickory
https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CA/schools/3942006559/school.aspx
Torrance
https://www.schooldigger.com/go/CA/schools/3942006575/school.aspx
From the above, it seems that Hickory is more academic.
Of the 5,789 elementary schools in California, Hickory ranks 555th.
Torrance Elementary is ranked 2996th in California.
Unfortunately, the 2020 statistics are not available because of Corona. 。。。。
I think it would be better to put them in schools that are a little more academically advanced. Unlike Japan, where you can just go to the elementary school in your
school district except for private schools, not many people
move to California to get into a good school.
I think it is important for parents to gain knowledge first.
If you open up the ranking table, you will find out a lot of details.
While keeping track of such information, word-of-mouth information from mothers' friends can be very helpful.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)

In High School, some people go out of their way to send you to a lower level school to get a good GPA.
It is harder to get into the top academic schools academically and harder to get scholarships and recommendations.I don't think it makes much difference where you go, though, since the levels are about the same around Torrance.

In order to go to a lower level high school and get good grades, you have to have a little higher academic ability in elementary and middle school ? ? ?
The really high academic ability kids can be at the top of their class in a high level high school. 、、、、
in high school. GPA and techniques for getting scholarships and recommendations are things that parents of soon-to-be high school kids should worry about 。。。。 I don't think Topix is that worried about it, since the question is about choosing an elementary school ? ? ?This text has been translated by auto-translation.

Incidentally, the school that appears at the top of the California rankings in LAUSD is Roscomare Road Elementary, ranked 14th,
formerly known as Balboa Elementary (formally Balboa Gifted/High Ability Magnet Elementary ) had long been the top ranked school in
LAUSD, but since the principal changed, the ranking has been dropping steadily.
If you want to know how your child's school ranks in California, you can enter the school name
in the Search field.
Of course, you can also search California middle school rankings and High School Rankings.
If you change the number in the "show schools at a time" field at the bottom, up to 100 schools will be displayed on one page.
If you want to see schools by Unified, you can enter the Unified name.
If you are interested in a school, you can click on the name of the school to see the details of that school.
Of course, local residents have priority for popular schools, but this year, even popular schools that normally would not be able to get in have a higher chance of getting in because they are not filled up due to Corona. I think it is a way to change schools to take advantage of this chance to get in even if you cross the border.This text has been translated by auto-translation.

I agree. The test score difference between the top 70 is 1%.
Considering that I'm ranked 641st in a school with a score of 90%, the test score is more important than what rank I'm ranked.

Once upon a time, there was a big fuss when it was discovered that a Japanese child who did not speak English well was told to miss school on the day of the National Common Achievement Test. Why do schools care so much about test scores?
In California, education funding has been cut so much from the state budget that teachers have gone on strike.
The rule that if a school's overall test score goes up 5% over the previous year, it gets more money from the state, and if it goes down 5%, it gets less ( within 5% of the previous year, it stays the same ) has made schools jump through hoops.... I heard that. ( Sorry, but this is just what I heard, not verified by myself )
I would like to believe that now they should no longer give recess to students who cannot speak English ・ ・ ・.This text has been translated by auto-translation. There may be a slight difference between the original text and the translation. (Original Language: 日本語)
