Thank you UCGal for your input. Roosevelt does sound great, I didn’t know anything about that school. The language instruction is definitely attractive to me, but at this point in the process I’m still going to look for something a little closer to us. We had considered trying High Tech Middle, but as you noted, it’s too far for us. I’m hoping to balance how much time our kids spend in the car with the benefit of an interesting school. It’s 30 minutes to the nearest grocery store, Roosevelt would be an hour when (if) traffic is good. Anyway, can’t complain since we chose to come out here!
Glad you mentioned ‘choice application’ and the fact that charter schools are outside of that process. I didn’t know about lottery by zip code. All this is new to me since I’ve only dealt with Jamul-Dulzura and Cajon Valley districts so far. I’ll read up that. You’ve given us some leads on what more to learn.
Do you know anything about Magnolia Science Academy? or Lewis middle school?
