[quote=yamashi][quote=serendipity4] I really still dont know why 4s/del sur schools are considered better than SR schools?[/quote]
I would like to know where you found this info, because my research when I was shopping told me otherwise. Regardless, Marshall Middle and SR High School tests are among the highest with an API of 934 and 913 respectively. In contrast Carmel Valley Middle and Torrey Pines High was 976 and 895.
For me above 900 was a qualifier and Scripps Ranch fits both. Also my wife and I both work downtown and it’s only a 25 minute commute for us.[/quote]
The API scores haven’t been updated in 2 years. Just for arguments sake, Canyon Crest Academy (San Dieguito Union High School District – same as Torrey Pines HS) is ranked 85th in the nation, whereas Scripps Ranch High School is 471st. Torrey Pines is #231 – all according to US News and World Report. Canyon Crest is also ranked 15th in the state and historically has had the highest API in the county since about 2011. It’s a great school and in my opinion worth trying to get in – but it’s a lottery, so no guarantees.
