Is this because in the older parts of Scripps, the children of the homeowners are growing out of school age ? If that is true, then other neighborhoods like Carmel Valley would have the same problem, wouldn’t they ?[/quote]
sorry gn, was away.
to answer the question, the problem with scripps is demographics.
there’s no new housing developments. within the SCHS draw area. But there is plenty of new housing in adjacent poway school district areas that entice high earning families.
most homeowners, even if they would prefer to downsize and move away, if they can’t get the right price, they’ll stay put. therefore, new families with children don’t move in.
last major home developement within Scripps was nearly a decade ago. give another decade, and all of the kids from that era would have moved through the schools.
so the area would be primarily empty nesters. so where do you think students will be coming from 10-15 years down the line?
