[quote=sdrealtor]San Dieguito is the other school here and it is 854.
LCC is the big time school where the atheletes go while San Dieguito is the smaller school for the more academically focused.
There is something else that goes on around here which I dont know how to quantify. I would estimate that between 20 and 30% of the kids around here go to high end private schools like Santa Fe Christian, Cathedral, LJ Country Day, Nativiety, Pacific Ridge, Rhodes etc. These kids are more likely to be top performers in school as opposed to low performers. So a fairly high percentage of top performers get skimmed off from the publics around here. I wonder what that number looks like in Carmel Valley? My guess would be the relatively wealthy asian families in CV buy there to send their kids to the publics. Where as up here, a higher percentage of relatively wealthy folks buy bigger homes, nicer homes on more land for the same or less and send their kids to the best private schools in the county.
Its jsut a theory. Any ideas how to test this one out?[/quote]
What I end up doing is sending my kids to a public school so they can experience all the bullying, teasing,etc, because I intentionally want to lose my hair before modern medicine does that to me, ha ha ha..
But in all seriousness, I think many asian families end up just sending kids to well known afterschool enrichment programs (inclusive). There are 5-6 of then in sorrento valley and rancho pq. Purely from the school perspective, it’s pretty decent, because they do the bilingual education and supplement the math/science/ engrish(sic) writing beyond what the school teaches. Plus there’s lots of kids which end up playing together.
I like the program she’s currently enrolled in, because they aren’t *that* pushy. I looked at some of the extra enrichment programs that DMUSD offers. While they aren’t bad, there are a few good art/science/PE type classes. But I’m still going to do the asian after school program.
The real rich asian communities, hire full time private tutors (no joke).
