[quote=sdduuuude]Consider a canyon lot in Clairemont and send the kids to private school. You’ll have a 5 or 10 min commute into La Jolla. Or, give the Clairemont schools a try first, then move them to a private school if you are unhappy. Or, try to choice them into a UC or La Jolla public school.

We live in Clairemont but our kids don’t go to school in Clairemont so I can’t comment on the schools here, but our neighbors seem quite content with their schools, and a couple have choiced into UC. Everyone knows they aren’t North-County schools, but the lifestyle trade-off makes it all better. To the kids, it is just school, anyway. The kids will never know what they are missing. The biggest difference is you won’t be intertwined with more “upscale” parents, which is both good and bad.

A little off the topic, I would REALLY LOVE to know about how much we are talking in terms of a good private school? Is it like, less than $500 per month for example, or it’s over $1000? Any idea?
