Area STAR test scores show gains - The Daily Breeze

The results of the latest Area STAR testing are in, as reported in this article by the Daily Breeze.  The article features a convenient graphic that lets the reader easily compare scores by area, including California and LA County overall, plus South Bay area cities/school districts individually.

Outstanding proficiency scores in Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach lead the pack, but Wiseburn and other locales have strong showings as well.  Don't miss Wiseburn School District (including the Holly Glen area of Hawthorne)!  It's a great price performer for first time homebuyers.

Note: The percentages shown are not average scores!  They are the percentage of students who scored "Proficient" or better.

Also found lots ranging to 1/2 acre; cost per unit as low as $164,750, cost per bedroom as low as $106,094, assumable financing as high as $2.5 million.
