“The schools aren’t just good, they are in a league with Poway and North Coastal districts. In Riverside and San Bernadino counties combined, 16 of the top 20 schools in those two couties were in the Temecula Unified, #1 Elementary and #1 High School, I compared the API’s to Poway and it’s almost a dead heat (edge going to Poway), to compare them to Santee is just goofy.”
The schools are good, and I was NOT comparing them to Santee.(to say that is goofy) However, though the Santee school district does not have schools that are supposedly equivalent(though one is probably on parr), they do have above average schools and the price of homes (at the time) were affordable, taxes are much better, and location is much better for commute. (people who like the beach don’t like Santee either)
Also, IMHO the reason why the schools might be that good is that people who are in the age group having children are able to afford houses there. Therefore there are more children. People who move thinking schools are better for their children, tend to have children who are better prepared and do better in school.
I believe that is one of the reasons why there is outward migration from San Diego county. To there and Arizona, Nevada. Hell, that is what I would’ve done if I wasn’t able to have the same thing here.
I love Temecula, it’s just too far, overpriced, overbuilt(there are too many people traffic is very congested) and the taxes, hoa’s are RIDICULOUS!
By the way here’s a of link to compare, if that’s what you’d like….the API’s are higher but not a great deal.
