Carlsbad beach vs. Carmel Valley

[Mooki]

I have been looking at these South Carlsbad communities for years also so I have been tracking the schools’ performance. All these communities are in a good school district. The kids go to these schools:

Pacific Rim Elementary – One of the top schools in California. Higher API score (970) than any other elementary schools in Carmel Valley or Encinitas.

Aviara Oaks Middle School – Good API score (875) but did not score as high as the top middle schools in Encinitas (955) and Carmel Valley (960).

Carlsbad High – API 812. Again it scores below Encinitas and Carmel Valley. But there will be a new high school opening 2013 (Sage Creek High School). I hope the new high school will eventually be as good as the two in Carmel valley.

API is only one aspect of school performance. Lack of gangs and plentiful of attentive parents are as important.

Among the five communities you mentioned, Rosalena is the longest walk to the beach (lack of pedestrian access gates) and you probably will have to bike to surf rather than carrying the board for that distance. They are older (built in 1989) and you can hear the noise from I-5. If a buyer’s budget is around $1M, they would probably pick the Bay Collection rather than Rosalena.

Good advice from Mooki all around. I believe the new high school will be heavily weighted toward South carlsbad (92011) and in 10 years will largely level the playing field with the Encinitas/San dieguito schools just to the south.

I am a resident of San Pacifico and can tell you the community is outstanding. Low HOA and in my case no Mello Roos. The neighbors are friendly and outgoing. I walk to the beach and to shopping. Recreation facilities are well cared for and perfect for an active family. We actually rented here for several years then could not think of leaving. We did finally buy here. I might recommend renting and learning about one of the best kept secrets in SD.

Good luck.
