[quote=Rhett]Save for one grade school, the public schools in Clairemont range from average to awful. Save for one person, everybody I’ve met that owns in Clairemont either sends their kids to private school or ends up choicing their kids into a UC school (since the aging demographics there have twice as much capacity in south UC than students that live there).
This is why Mira Mesa might be a lot more attractive to some people.[/quote]
This is good to know, Rhett. I long suspected the population of the UC SFR’s (south UC) didn’t have enough students to fill the schools there and even posted this a few weeks ago on another thread. It’s good to know that CHOICE is more easily available to attend UC schools from Clairemont and other nearby communities.
I would suspect that young families in residence are in the minority in South Clairemont (92111) but not 92117 (which is less expensive overall and has more multifamily units).
I also suspect that Clairemont buyers of today likely don’t have school age children or went to the local schools themselves and thus aren’t biased against them.
API scores mean next-to-nothing to young-parent locals who want to raise their kids near other relatives.
