[edit] Demographics
Alhambra High School's student population is mostly Asian and Latino.[1]
[edit] Incidents
In April 2005, a controversial article was published by The Moor, the school's biweekly newspaper. The article, written by Robin Zhou, titled "Latinos Lag Behind in Academics",[2] asked why many students in Advanced Placement classes were Asian, and bluntly stated that Asians worked much harder in academics than Hispanic students. Zhou's article attempted to discuss the roots of this phenomenon, although many Latino students and parents were up in arms over his assertion that Asians do better in school because of parental pressure that Latino students do not experience.

On October 11, 2006, an explosive device was found on a sidewalk bordering the north end of campus. Hours later, a second similar device was found in a trash can on the south end of campus.
