CCA much like San Dieguito Academy in Encinitas serves as the lottery based school (meaning getting in is not automatic). LCC, like Torrey Pines is the default school for HS Students.
Certain parts of Rancho Bernardo apparently have a choice also about Camino Del Norte. My friends in Westview are opting for the new school instead of RB.
I took 4-5 trips to 4S Ranch this past 2-3 weeks for Little League events, which was at the extreme south part of the community. I really liked the open Carmel Valley road by the way. In fact I would go from Lomas Santa Fe through Fairbanks Ranch to get there, and since the ballfields were down at Dove creek anyway, I found it easier to go right off of San Dieguito. To each his own, I probably could’ve just done 56 to Camino Del Sur, to Carmel Valley road but I really like driving through RSF.
I kind of wanted to go through Santa Luz, but it was all gated, and I didn’t care to sign in. Del Sur, I only made the drive around to 4S Ranch so I am not exactly sure what I missed. 4S was ok, but not really my cup of tea. I understand why some people like that kind of thing, and of course working in Kearney, I might think differently. It just seemed to plastic to me. I think in 10 years it should start resembling something like Eastern Encinitas (when the homes start needing some updates). I like that the prices are coming down, but that Mello Roos just kills it for me (not that I am in the market to buy). I did find the whole Black Mountain area through to be pretty nice (combining down to Santa Luz). A lot of parks, people out riding bikes, walking etc.
