Bressi ranch and surrounds

[Bugs]

My kids all went to Carlsbad High, and while its okay I’ve come to the conclusion that parental involvement is more of a factor in a kid’s education than the reputation of a school district. The demographics and economic conditions in the various households have more influence on test scores than do the curriculums or the instructors at the schools.

Rich neighborhoods aren’t rich because of the high test scores of the schools where they are located; the schools where they are located have high test scores because many rich people have high expectations of performance for their kids.

Whatever you do, if you want your kids to focus on school then stay away from the beach communities. It’s true that half the kids will join the program and excel in scholastics and extracurricular activities like organized sports and stuff. However, the other half will gravtitate toward the skate parks (there’s one located about 3 blocks north of Bressi in that industrial park at Palomar Airport Road/El Camino Real) and surfing. And those two groups do not mix. There’s always lots of tension between the jocks and the surfers/skaters. And unlike in other communities, the jocks and cheerleaders don’t always occupy the top of the social pecking order.

You might want to go to Poway or Carmel Valley instead. Those kids have nothing better to do and nowhere better to go than to get involved at school. Carlsbad and Encinitas aren’t known for turning out professional skaters and surfers for nothing.

Thank you, Bugs, for your insight.

This pretty frustrating because…I just want a normal suburban area with a little vibe with good schools and decent housing AND if it isnt too much to ask, warm friendly people . I am from the southeast, and have lived in OH and AZ, as well as CT, NC, VA, GA. Southern CA is the most farthest from any of these things that I desire. And my extensive research of the areas are all the same thing. Nothing special.

I chose Carlsbad for its location close to metrolink (my husband would commute via train)…and its schools stood out and some decent houses showed up inthe MLS that were reasonable high 600’s to mid 700’s, it seems like a nice local town with a pulse. Now I realized they werent what they seemed though, but not unlikely that some good deals could be had.

I appreciate your recommendations, however if we chose the north county area of SD, I would prefer that we stay above Carlsbad and within close proximity to a highway.

Don’t get me wrong, I like my town and Bressi isn’t a bad place to live by any means. It’s just that the neighborhood feel in Carlsbad is the same as anywhere else in the region. No better and no worse.

If you are going to stay there and raise your kids…the surf and skate culture is way cooler than the HS culture…I get it. So that means you really have to instill good values and expectations on the homefront…more so than in “wholesome town, USA.”(which doesnt exist in the southern CA realm) At least I havent found it yet.

I want my kids to know that college THE only option after HS…and so therefore, I would like for them have an abundance of peers who have those same goals. Is there by chance a good christian school in the area?
