County's dream of a four-year university of its own has been

aided by an educational consulting firm, has come up with an
innovative model for a mix of public and private colleges on

Local Schools
Post Top Marks in State Tests
La Jolla Light, Sept. 9-Teachers and
administrators at La Jolla public schools have good reason to
pat themselves on the back, thanks to the release of the state's
annual Adequate Yearly Progress tests. The Preuss Model School
at UCSD was number one in the district, with
a score of 845. This small, select institution is particularly
notable for its high scores as it is the only school in La Jolla
to bus in its students from under-privileged areas of San Diego.
