“Rustico – If I understand you correctly – you moved in anticipation of a schooling situation which changed. This is a very compelling reason for me to stay here, then decide later when all the factors, including school and housing prices, are known at the time I have to make the decision.”
No that wasn’t it . I wasn’t too clear. I didn’t think private schools or a better neighborhood would be an option for us financially. I bought a lot and built in Jamul because that cost me very little and the schools here are much better than other areas I could afford except Poway, which is not really my thing, except maybe around Espola Rd. I think San Carlos/Del Cerro is another possibility. Anyway now it looks like we probably would be able to afford some private high school but we are too far away. I think the schools here in Jamul are good and improving. The high school went charter and gets support from the community. I am Just looking at the other trade offs like amenities and commute and suggesting you do the same since you already seem capable of handling private schools and you mostly like your current situation.We will probably stay here or move a little closer in,but still in Jamul, when the kids get older.Right now they(we) have 20 acres to romp around and can spend enormous ammounts of time together, due to low bills, which is great.
No way I am moving to Wisconsin, although I trust Cyphire’s opinions. My sister teaches in Stoughton which is a suburb of Madison. Her Daughter has done very well academically from public schools. Her parents are both very bright and involved so that helps.
