Both excellent scores! [/quote]

856 for an elementary is okay, not excellent. There are no fewer than 6 elementaries in Santee (of all places) that score higher than that. Notice the demographics as well. Spreckels is a SDUSD Spanish-language magnet. Half of the students are bussed in from south of the 8. The situation is not better in middle & high schools either. For 800K, I’d expect more. There are many nice 4-br’s for that price to choose from in Carmel Valley. And, unlike the UC properties, they are not 50 year old and they are guaranteed to be free of lead paint.

@yellowS2K, be sure to check 4-br’s as well. It’s not uncommon for a house to have 4 bedrooms + an office and yet be listed as “4/3” or “4/4”. E.g. here http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-100071103-4403_Mistral_Pl_San_Diego_CA_92130
