I talked to the wife this morning about the school issue. Apparently some kids have been sent to other schools (Del Mar Hills, Sycamore Ridge), but not (that we’re aware of) since Ocean Air opened. Right now, they seem to be letting some kids from the Ocean Air district go to Sage Canyon. So it would seem that if you live in the Sage Canyon district (which Bridle Ridge is in), then there would be room for your kids at Sage, and that some Ocean Air kids might be displaced in their favor. However, if you don’t sign up for the following school year by February, then they may (or may not) displace your kid in favor of someone not in the district, but who applied in February. They’re somewhat vague about how they decide these things. They also like to under-promise (or maybe I should say they’re extremely careful not to over-promise). It’s different every year, but friends of ours who just moved to Sage Canyon this year got both their kids (K and 4th) into Sage Canyon. And all the kids on our street (which is new) got into Sage.
Good Luck and let me know if you have any questions.[/quote]
Thanks – this is exactly the kind of information we were hoping to get. And it confirms our thought that we should probably act quickly.[/quote]
With all due respect. Be very careful about buying a home in CV with the expectation that you will be in Sage or Ocean Air…The fact was last year, Sage was overcrowded, and that some of the parents were facing the possibility of having to go to a different school in the same district (Torrey Hills Elem). At the last minute, Sage canyon added 2-3 new classes to accomodate. Imho though, whether your kid goes to Sage, Ocean, or Torrey Hills, it’s pretty much a wash, with the margin of error being the ability of your kid (or how much you’re willing to push him/her)….My 2 cents.
As far as “daycare”: well, that’s a completely different story. We tended to avoid “daycare” per se, and sent kid to a Montessori school.
