The API scores of Poway schools support the view that it is a generally superior public school district. You can debate the usefulness of the API, but it is still an even, across the board measurement. Its results district by district are also consistent with everything I have seen and heard over the last 20 years about the various school districts (and particular schools) in SD county. As far as the public school v. private school v. cost of housing v. quality of neighborhoods and neighbors equation, that can be debated forever.
