Keeping with the original intent of this thread, I still don’t see any basis to support the idea that the LJ public schools can match those in CV or the other top areas.[/quote]
To the contrary, I think there’s no evidence that the quality of education is significantly different between LJ and Carmel Valley. Smart kids with involved parents equals successful students. It isn’t teachers and it isn’t schools that make successful students. Both areas have smart kids and involved parents, as well as schools that provide an environment to allow the students to thrive.
