Our local elementary school in LJ, Torrey Pines Elementary, will enroll new students within the boundary any time of the year — thé principal emphasized that when we toured. They said they cannot predict class size and configuration until September because people can enroll anytime and the school has to take them. It sounded like all public schools are like this. It’s one of the three elementary schools in La Jolla and rates near the top of all San Diego unified schools. The western most strip of UTC is in an optional enrollment area that is zoned to Torrey pines as well. Climate: we live in LJ Shores, which for me is plenty warm enough in the summer and not too cold in the winter. I don’t find we have too many overcast days. Definitely cooler here than eastern Mira Mesa where my parents live, which I find too hot. My parents want to move further west for that reason. Poshness: I guess there are posh people here but also plenty of families who live in UCSD student or faculty housing who are all zoned here, as well as parents who work for the extensive UCSD healthcare system/medical school. We’re not posh people ourselves. 🙂
San Diego Unified is planning a full time reopening in the fall but needs additional federal funding for the spring, because of extra cost involved in making schools safe — if that doesn’t come it plans to go full distance learning in the spring. But the second wave might send everyone home by then anyway.
Del Mar Union is planning full reopening for the whole school year.
Btw I saw a 3BD house with peek ocean view for rent in downtown LJ (Zoned to LJ Elementary) today (Zillow) for $4000/month. Might be a bit much for your budget but very good deal for LJ! For well priced furnished rentals try sabbaticalhomes.com — mainly academics renting to each other when they go on sabbatical for a year. We’ve had good experiences with it. There are also some non academics there as renters and landlords.
