Chula Vista better schools and newer construction

[SkyRanchOwner]

Private elementary schools in East County are much less than the private schools in La Jolla and Del Mar. Out East for a regular elementary private school you would be looking at $300-$400 per month.

If they are highschool age, then kids mostly go to private schools outside of the area. Catholic schools like Saints (all boys), OLP (all girls), or Cathedral (coed). These 3 all cost around $10,000 to $11,000 per year. So, about $1,000 per month.

It all depends on the age of your kids Scarlett.

In my opinion, private school education is much tougher than public school. Kids get much more homework and are more challenged in the private schools. It’s actually more important to get kids into private schools earlier, so they become accustomed to lots of homework. If they transition to a public high school from there, they will be at a much better educational level.

The current problem with public schools is the “no child left behind”. Most teachers now spend more time bringing up the challenged kids than helping the best ones excel more. Plus, you can’t celebrate Christmas, Easter, possibly Halloween, and other standard traditions in public schools because they offend someone/somewhere. Feel free to ask any teacher in a San Diego public school and they will tell you all this is true.

In addition, if you are Christian or Catholic, public schools don’t teach religion, and it is important for them to build these morals and values at a young age to help carry them through life, in my opinion.

There is less drugs and alcohol problems, on average in private schools. Not to say these issues don’t exist, it’s just that they are much less than your regular public schools.

Scarlett, you’ll have to drive up here to Sky Ranch to check it out and talk to the sales office. It’s a nice community, and it’s building as new homes sell. Yes, by the way, you get a brand new home. No problems to mess with like plumbing, roof, electrical, etc.

You can take the 52 straight to La Jolla when it is finished. It is suppossed to be completed by the end of this year. It’s a massive project.

Also, they plan to build a Fast Track lane on the 52, so in a few years when this is complete, the commute should be even faster. Right now, it really isn’t bad. Try driving it during rush hour. I can get to Sorrento Valley from Sky Ranch leaving around 7:05/7:10 arriving at 7:35/7:40!! No joke! And this is without the completion of the 52!

Well, you specifically asked about the Otay Ranch/Windingwalk development and Brookfield Homes, and I happen to fit that bill. We closed on our home last May and moved in in June.

We moved to Chula Vista after renting a home in the Coronado Cays for a year. The area was not our style, and I fell in love with Chula Vista after going house hunting with a couple of friends who were looking to buy down here.

We don’t regret our decision one bit. I don’t work, and my husband works at the Amphib Base in Coronado though, so we don’t have the same commute issues as you might have. But honestly, the traffic coming into Otay Ranch is not as horrific as people make it sound, and I’ve only had to use the toll roads twice. If you take Telegraph Canyon, you’re going to run into some major problems. If you take Olympic Parkway, you’ll be fine.

Our daughter is a teen who attends Eastlake Middle School, and will attend Olympian High in July. Our son has autism and is enrolled in a GREAT program at Parkview Elementary. We came from one of the best districts in the country (Montgomery County Maryland) and also the Coronado School District, and honestly, we’ve been very happy with the schools out here, and I think my kid has been able to maintain the same standard of learning she had in Maryland and in Coronado.

And just some stats, we are a young black couple in our thirties. My husband is a Navy Doctor, and most of our neighbors are military, which was very surprising to us. In just our cluster of homes, there is another black family, two Asian families, and the rest are white. No Hispanics that I’ve seen YET, but I’m sure they are around. I just haven’t seen them.

If you have any other questions about the neighborhood, the quality of Brookfield homes, the association or anything else, please feel free to ask.

Agreed…I think you should at least look at Tierrasanta. Don’t know anything about the schools there though.
