El Camino and Granada Hills Take First and Second Place in 2014 U.S. Academic Decathlon

I am about 4 weeks late on this one but better late than never as the SFV dominated the U.S. Academic Decathlon again with El Camino Real Charter High School in Woodland Hills winning the entire event on April 26, 2014 which was El Camino's seventh win. And in second place was the reigning three time champs Granada Hills Charter high school. The difference between El Camino and Granada Hills was 208.7 points or a mere 0.4% from the winning score of 52,601.10. 

Between El Camino and Granada Hills, those two schools have won 10 times since 1998 which is downright ridiculous considering its a national competition. The level of consistency is unheard of especially with Granada almost making it 4 in a row after winning in 2011, 2012, and 2013. What the heck is in those water fountains on campus? This should definitely make real estate prices in Granada Hills and Woodland Hills/West Hills levitate even further.
