4s Ranch vs Carmel Valley – schools

[carli]

One more factor to consider while comparing school districts/home locations is high schools…even if your child is only in elementary now, it’s scary how fast they get there!

You should know that if you choose to live in Carmel Valley or Del Mar, your child will attend a school in the Del Mar Union School District through 6th grade, but will transition to San Dieguito Union High School District (www.sduhsd.net) for middle (7th-8th grade) and then high school. When the student hits high school, he/she will have two area high schools to choose from, both in Carmel Valley – Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest Academy. Both have extremely high API scores and excellent programs with slightly different focuses.

We’ve had kids in both and have been very impressed (much more so than with the DMUSD elementary school experience). Especially at Canyon Crest, we feel the high school education is on par with private schools in many ways.

Not trying to “sell” you on the Carmel Valley/Del Mar area over 4s or RP, as Poway Union School District also has a great reputation, just sharing our experience.

Thank you for all the information and for sharing your experience with the school district. One question – So the webpage http://locator.decisioninsite.com/Default.aspx?StudyID=45346 isnt really accurate and anyone can be placed in any school in the district?. I also noticed that depending on the location, there is a possibility that my child could attend solana beach school district. Do you have insights on that?

Thank you again.

FYI: DMUSD elementary schools have tours going in mid march. Registration is on March 23, with a bunch of documents for address verification… (I guess they take this sort of thing pretty seriously…)

Here’s the schedule:

http://www.dmusd.org/district/files/openFile.aspx?fileID=10551

Registration Information:

http://www.dmusd.org/district/webpages/openwebpage.aspx?webpageID=1937

Procedure for address verification/proof of age/health records/etc

http://www.dmusd.org/district/files/openFile.aspx?fileID=6678

In short:

Two proofs of residency (lease signed by both tenant and landlord, utility bills with both name and service address, i.e. gas, electric, water, cable, land line telephone and/or property tax statement). For bills paid on line, please provide printout of your recent statement with name and service address.

Not acceptable proof of residency: driver’s license, cell phone bill, credit card statement, bank statement, mortgage statement, insurance statement, magazine subscriptions, etc.

Regarding the gift/afterschool programs….Personally, I don’t see this as a big deal.. If you want your kid to go to an enrichment program, there are plenty of them offered privately near the area. You just have to deal with transporting the kiddie(s) around.

Yes, that is true. We have been told by the district that even though we are just two blocks from one of the schools there is no guarantee that she will that one. In fact, we were told that it is more likely that she will not be able to attend that school due to the impacted nature of the entire district.
