I never mentioned test scores. Only economics and demographics. That said, you are correct, Kelly beats them all. But Kelly feeds into Calavera Middle school so that kills Kelly.

La Costa Valley by most accounts has better schools than Carlsbad. The major difference is the high school. La Costa Canyon vs. Carlsbad is no contest and the overall district (San Deguito)has 7% econ dis vs. 20% in CBad.
