I live next to monterey ridge elementary school in 4s. it is literally my backyard. first of all i don’t know what the pick up/drop off traffic is like because i am at work during that time. not a big deal in my opinion because it is a 30 minute evolution. as far as dangerous there are numerous traffic guards around the property and everyone drives slow anyways. bottom line is that school is out on the weekends and after 2:30ish everyday. not a problem. i would have a harder time living next to a middle school or high school due to the age of the kids and their vandalizing potential. the decision has to do with what your concerns are. if you are a stay at home mom or you work from your house then the noise could be an issue. most houses that are 1.1 mil have really good windows to help reduce outside noise. hope this helps.
