Carmel valley schools v. “Private schools”

[jimg111]

One of my daughters went to Ashley Falls and all schools in the Del Mar School district are excellent.( Pretty sure the highest in the county over Poway as well ) They get the required stuff out of the way 2/3 of the way through the year and the last third is spent on advanced material. Yes the Asian kids pull up the API but most of these kids come from well educated parents. The way they get around the 1 teacher to 20 kids class size is they will sometimes have a teacher’s assistant and many times 2 parent volunteers ( who generally hold 4 year or advanced degrees.) Definite advantage to have 3 to 4 “teachers” assisting at all times. The school district also raises quite a bit of money for the foundation which is used for more specialized classes.

By the way, schools in San Diego Unified vary wildly. There are plenty of good schools to be found there.

I also think something to remember is to send your kids to schools that fit thier personality. A friends family had 3 daughters, each about 14 months apart. These girls are all smart, beautiful, and rich (even in the pigg sense); and each went to a different school. The eldest was in my class at a private catholic school. The middle went to the largest public school in the county. The youngest went to private ivy league prep boarding schools.

All three ended up in good private west coast colleges.

Ask your kids where they want to go. Cause it is more any important that the kids are involved and want to be involved than if it is 20-1 or 25-1 teacher ratios. Especially in HS, it is important to involve your kids in the decision to help make sure it is their decision also. All the kids I knew who didnt get a choice never did quite as well as those who chose to be there, even if their parents both had advanced degrees. Motivation matters.
