We are an affluent family from England moving to san Jose. My daughter is going to be 15 when we move. She is your typical blonde, blue eyed girly girl and wants to go to a co-ed high school. What schools are the best for her-with people like her (less other ethnic groups)? Thanks!

Ma'am, despite your affluence, you may have a very hard time finding the right co-ed high school for your daughter in San Jose or Santa Clara County. Our very best schools, the crème de la crème (both public and private), are actually top schools largely due to the fact of the great assimilation of nationalities, which provide wonderful and challenging learning experiences for our children as well as a greater understanding of today's world.

Why would you move to California, San Jose of all places, if you want segregation? California is known to be very diverse. You are going to have a hard time no matter what finding a school where there aren't other ethnic groups.
The only public high school in the San Jose Unified School District with a higher population of Caucasian people is Pioneer High. The other schools are in other school districts. It depends on where you live. If you are affluent you can probably afford private schools, although you are most likely going to find other ethnicities there too.
Like what other people said, you should even rethink moving to San Jose if you wish for your daughter to be in an area where there are only "people like her."

On a recent list, the best high school in the Bay Area is Mission San Jose high school in Fremont. However, that school has a large Asian population, and in general, the best high schools have many Asians because, in general, they value education more than white people and will move to areas with the best schools. This also makes house prices in the best school districts rise, and in some areas you are still looking at well over $1 million USD for a house.
You may even want to rethink moving to California, if people of other races bother you. San Jose in particular has large numbers of Latinos and Vietnamese, along with many other nationalities. You might do well to research other areas, like the Midwest, that have less diversity. However, it would be good for your daughter to be exposed to a variety of people.

well sounds like mum is a snob and daughter will be a snob too.. as Euorpeans say....like mother like daughter..
Camilla and Charles as well as the Beckhams must have done quite a bit for you all...including your Queen after Dinana.
Perfect Snob school to go to perfect for your kind and your type would be perhaps Harker High School located in Saratoga.Its about 15-20 min away from San Jose..a little bit past the semi snob area of Los Gatos.

i do not understand why you would move to san jose if you want segregation?
i go to st. francis, a nice private school and even that is very ethnically diverse.
some of the best schools though are probably on the western side of the valley, like los gatos, monta vista, lynbrook...

you are extremely naive....have you looked up the racial make-up of this city? I would assume someone so focused on "ethnic groups" would have already done this. If so you would have your answer already.....a school like that doesn't exist here. Educate yourself!
