Just as a FYI for the Poway Unified School District, if you rent or live in a place NOT in a MR district, you will not be able to attend any of the “newer” MR schools. This is certainly something to consider as I’m sure people who rent “hoping” to get in are going to get a surprise that they may have to drive 20 minutes away to the non-MR place.
Also, they are building a new K-8 school opening this year that is only funded by certain MR CFD areas so you’d need to check the area/ask the homebuilder what CFD this is in if you wanted to attend that school.
Lastly, just because you paid MR doesn’t mean you will end up going to go to your neighborhood school…They have all pretty much been all full so figure out your plans prior if you don’t get lucky. There was some news articles of some people (50+ families) that bought 1+ mil homes in PUSD that had to drive to Adobe Bluffs (25 years old now) like 20-30 minutes away even though they lived directly across the street from the Elementary school…
Again, all the schools are decent, but I think some people prefer the newer schools for probably more selective families (higher income since home prices have gone up from 30 years ago), newer building, etc…, possibly better teachers since when a new school opens, they can pick and choose which teachers to hire I believe.
Hope that helps…Also, PUSD school enrollment happens in May I think.
