Incidentally, the school that appears at the top of the California rankings in LAUSD is Roscomare Road Elementary, ranked 14th,
formerly known as Balboa Elementary (formally Balboa Gifted/High Ability Magnet Elementary ） had long been the top ranked school in
LAUSD, but since the principal changed, the ranking has been dropping steadily.

If you want to know how your child's school ranks in California, you can enter the school name
in the Search field.
Of course, you can also search California middle school rankings and High School Rankings.
If you change the number in the "show schools at a time" field at the bottom, up to 100 schools will be displayed on one page.
If you want to see schools by Unified, you can enter the Unified name.
If you are interested in a school, you can click on the name of the school to see the details of that school.

Of course, local residents have priority for popular schools, but this year, even popular schools that normally would not be able to get in have a higher chance of getting in because they are not filled up due to Corona. I think it is a way to change schools to take advantage of this chance to get in even if you cross the border.

I don't care what rank the school is in, but I'd like to get into a school with a test score above the 90th percentile ～.

I agree. The test score difference between the top 70 is 1%.
Considering that I'm ranked 641st in a school with a score of 90%, the test score is more important than what rank I'm ranked.

With 1525 Unified in California, Torrance Unified is ranked 220th, which is great. But even within Torrance, it varies from school to school.

Once upon a time, there was a big fuss when it was discovered that a Japanese child who did not speak English well was told to miss school on the day of the National Common Achievement Test. Why do schools care so much about test scores?

In California, education funding has been cut so much from the state budget that teachers have gone on strike.
The rule that if a school's overall test score goes up 5% over the previous year, it gets more money from the state, and if it goes down 5%, it gets less （ within 5% of the previous year, it stays the same ） has made schools jump through hoops.... I heard that. （ Sorry, but this is just what I heard, not verified by myself ）
I would like to believe that now they should no longer give recess to students who cannot speak English ・ ・ ・.

This section answers your questions regarding the reporting of gains （ ） capital gains on stock returns in Japan.

When you have a gain or loss on a stock transaction, you must report it on Schedule D of your U.S. tax return form 1040.
Based on the brokerage firm's statement of transactions, enter the amount of the difference between the price at which you bought the stock and the price at which you sold it, if there was a gain
or a loss, on the form, calculate the total
amount of income, and report the gain as taxable income.

You will be required to file a tax return on the profit. If you have traded stocks in the U.S., you only need to convert
Japanese yen into U.S. dollars at the specified exchange rate, otherwise, the process is the same whether you have traded stocks in Japan or the U.S.
.

Judging from the fact that you are asking this question, we assume that you have never
declared your stock transactions and profits in the US.

In that case, we recommend that you contact a professional to handle this matter.

Furthermore, if you transfer the amount of shares you sold to the U.S. and put it in your bank account in the U.S.,
there is no problem, but if you put it in your bank account in Japan,
if the total amount of the shares you sold exceeds 10 ， 000 USD per year, you will be required to file a separate return in the U.S. If you are not able to handle this matter by yourself, please consult a professional
and have him handle it.

If you have assets of more than $10,000 in Japan, you are required to file an annual tax return with the IRS.
If you do not report your assets to the IRS, it may be considered money laundering. It is advisable to consult your CPA and take appropriate measures.

If you own more than $10,000 in assets in Japan (stocks, bank deposits, savings accounts, etc.), you are required to file an annual return with the IRS. Failure to file may be considered money laundering.
We recommend that you take prompt action on your CPA.

Dear tax man
Thank you for your kind explanation. Your information was very helpful.
We ask a professional to do our tax returns every year.
When I sell stocks, I should keep track of the purchase price and sale price at that time from the brokerage firm
so that I can know my income for next year's tax return.
Thank you for your detailed explanation ！.

Dear Hawaii
Thank you for the information. We had originally declared our savings and securities. We will continue to make sure that we do not fail to declare them so that we do not have to worry.
