Note LAUSD has placed this 45.86 meg PDF on their website at

http://laschools.org/project-status/projects/attachments/55.98032/102776/ValleyNewHighNo1.pdf

The file is so large it is unusable to most internet users. I have converted to the standard internet format and loaded it here for the community to read. LAUSD still refuses to make this report available in a usable form.

The tables an illustrations translated poorly
