You need to rethink Mira Mesa schools.
I used to have the same opinion – then looked at the data (prompted by AN among others.)

Ericson and Sandberg elementary have API’s in the 900’s. Challenger middle school and Mira Mesa HS have respectable API’s also. Challenger and Standley middle (University City) are very close. And Mira Mesa HS outperforms UCHS.

I was under the outdated impression that Mira Mesa Schools weren’t great… but the data shows they are decent and improving.

I’ve joked about moving from UC to Mira Mesa because of the schools. (I like my house, and won’t be moving… but who knows – maybe I’ll try to choice into MMHS.)
