Thank you for your very detailed comments about your own experience. We really liked the development and think it’s a great value given the quality of the homes and convenient location. However, one concern is the quality of schools in Santee. This issue has not been discussed and your input is appreciated (if you’re familiar with the schools). Thank you! [/quote]
Santee schools actually are quite well rated statewide.
Rio Seco (K-8) has an API score of 846, putting it in the top 15% of all elementary schools in the state.
Santana High isn’t as highly rated, but is still better than average (725 API rating) putting it in the top 30% or so of high schools.
Overall school district is comparable to San Marcos. Definitely below the gems in San Diego like the La Jolla, Poway, San Dieguito, or Carlsbad systems, but substantially better than the average.
