Still amazes me that all Irvine high schools are top 200 (including Beckman, I assume Portola doesn't qualify yet).

Absolute...a lot of people don't realize that Irvine do not have magnet schools.  They prefer to spread out the students across the district. 
 
Whitney High School is our pride...our hopes and dreams abound. Whitney's family by our side with friendships we have found! Strive for nothing but the best for here we'll surely find...memories to last a lifetime. HAIL TO WHITNEY HIGH!

Still remember my alma mater song ...haha ingrained into my brain through brainwashing.
 
Several spots behind Northwood High is La Quinta High in Westminster.

Regardless of school districts, locations and family income, the common theme of non chartered schools at the top of the list are schools with predominant Asian and Indian population.

A little misleading. You have to take a test to get into that school.

La Quinta high school is a public high school in Westminster and it is not a charter or magnet school. No examination is required for registration. Students must live within the district boundary.

La Quinta High in Palm Springs is a magnet school.

So if I put my kids in a predominantly Asian high school, does that mean they are getting a better education?

Depends on how you define better education? Is it the teachers? Is it your peers? Being with predominantly Asians tends to drive up competition and work/study ethic in schools. I can attest to this while attending Cerritos High for 1 year and then Whitney High for 3 years (ranked #1 nationally at the time). Huge difference in study body when it came to education.
