Just because it’s in PUSD doesn’t mean all the school in PUSD are great, especially in this poorer part of Poway. http://schoolperformancemaps.com/ca/#32.957185%2C-117.039156%2C14%2C1%2C2, look for yourself. The elementary school and middle school kids from this area would probably go to is Pomerado Elementary and Meadowbrook Middle. Both are ranked 9, so they’re good, but not great. The scores is only great when you get to the HS level. But that’s probably an effect of combining kids from these rank 9 schools with kids from the rank 10 schools. It gets even worse if you live in an area that feeds into Valley Elementary instead. It’s a rank 7 school, so it’s even worse than any school in Mira Mesa.
