02Comparative Studies
Two schools,
one choice.
Comparable data, side by side. Ratings, SAT, AP load, CAASPP scores, college destinations, and feeder housing prices for the most-asked-about pairings on the Peninsula and in Silicon Valley — laid out cleanly so the differences are visible.
№ 01The studies
Side-by-side studies.
None of these are ranking exercises. We put the comparable hard indicators side by side — ratings, SAT, AP load, CAASPP, college outcomes, surrounding home prices — and then add a paragraph on what actually distinguishes the two. Editorial deep-dive content for each comparison currently lives in Mandarin and will be re-authored in English on a future pass.
