Typically, that info is mentioned on the Realist report. That is the public record database that Sandicor subscribes to.
Honestly the biggest complaint I have about the private consumer mls services in this area (sdlookup etc) is that they don’t have this sort of access.
Also, there is a field for this on the mls but it is sometimes left blank by the agent.
That is because agents get sued sometimes for stating the school district incorrectly (whether by mistake or on purpose). Not such an issue in Hillcrest or North Park or Downtown (where I do business) but a really big deal in suburban communities. If you thought you were in the Encinitas district and turned out to be in Vista,
it could really affect your decisions for buying.The single most reliable source I have seen for this is the websites for the school districts themselves.
Good luck.

is useful to map school API scores.
Generally speaking, expensive houses are usually assigned to good schools and cheap houses are assigned to bad schools. Multiple elementary schools feed into a single middle school, and multiple middle schools feed into a single high school. Consequently, a house in an expensive pocket that borders a low-income area (e.g. Tierrasanta) will probably have a good dedicated elementary and a bad high school. Conversely, a house in a low-income hispanic part of Poway could be assigned to a rank 7 elementary and rank 10 middle/high schools.
