Schools are only as good as the parents of the children in that school, and more parents in higher end areas are actively invloved. It’s a fact. Ask any educator and they will tell you that you can have the best teachers in the world, but if the parents aren’t invloved in their kids’ education then bad things happen. To that end the schools in RSF, Encinitas, CV, Del Mar, Poway, etc. will be great in 10, 20, and 30 years from now. Show me the zip codes with the highest median prices and I’ll show you where the best schools are. In most areas of California, schools in the inner city get more $ per pupil than in North County, but the parents make up the difference in time and money.
And don’t think for a second that schools don’t help or hurt real estate. Ask any agent selling new homes and the school district question is far and away the #1 question they get asked.
