Steve Jobs and his first schools

 If you’re interested in origin stories, it starts getting interesting for me at 2.0.1 in this book excerpt. I lived down the street from Monta Loma Elementary, the first school Steve Jobs attended, for almost ten years, and my parents still live in the neighborhood. It’s funny how he demanded a move away from Crittenden Middle School (it’s still known as a “rough” school) and how he started attending Cupertino Junior High. Presently, the Cupertino school district has a high percentage of Chinese and Taiwanese residents who have pushed their kids toward the highest test scores in the state. I can imagine real estate agents mentioning that Steve Jobs attended Cupertino Junior High and Homestead High School (where Jobs would meet Wozniak).
