Carlsbad vs. San Marcos: If you want to send your kids to public HS with good API, live in San Marcos, not Carlsbad.
I know friends who send their kids to private schools. Their peers are all from parents who have the money to put them to private schools. They expect the latest cell phones, designer clothes and snowboarding trips from their parents as a given. Yes they do well academically too but I want my kids to be in public school to associate with peers from different social and economic backgrounds.
