I don’t know where the line is, but Bressi (next to RC) is in the Carlsbad School district. That said, at least based on the API scores, Rancho Carrillo Elem. (in the SM district) is very good. The middle school in San Elijo I bet will also be good. High School though,…. I just don’t know about SM High. But frankly, all public high schools scare me. And Carlsbad High’s scores are not that great. Poway seems to have good high schools across the board though. see greatschools.net or http://www.nctimes.com/standing/schools/2005base.txt
