Chula Vista better schools and newer construction

[KIBU]

Many people tend to underestimate Chula Vista and I believe they really don’t know what they miss.

It’s a great place if you do some searching.

In many aspects.

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.[/quote]
Just checked out all 3 schools. OLP is $11,260/yr., Saints is $11950/yr., and Cathedral is $11,675/yr. These rates are paid in full beginning of the year. Monthly rate will be higher. Much more reasonable than LJCD, Bishop’s, or Francis Parker (which are $22k+). I’m not sure how OLP, Saints, and Cathedral compares to LJCD, Bishop’s, or Francis Parker. But there must be a reason why the later 3 can charge 2X as much and still have students. Even at $11k, that’s ~$135k for 1 kids over 12 years (excluding pre-school and kindergarten). It would be more economical to just buy in PQ or RB if you have more than 1 kid.[/quote]

Bishops and Francis Parker are known for a high rate of Ivy League acceptance.

I went to the open houses for OLP, Saints, and Cathedral with my sister a few months back since her kids are going to HS soon. Saints and OLP are more competitive for admissions than Cathedral at this point, but Cathedral is a new and larger school. Cathedral also seemed to drill to parents that they are a Catholic school and that everyone had to take religion courses, but i did get the sense that it was a bit more relaxed than the others.

I believe Parker is $23K this year. I know a couple that has a kid there (in kindergarten). Great people, but… I. Just. Don’t. Get. It. (That’s almost sure to cost at least $350K after inflation before the kids hits college. That will suck up $600K of pre-tax earnings here in California.)

Of course, I went to public school K-12. And of 7 years of post-high school education, 6 were at public universities and they were dirt cheap. And a previous employer paid for the private university. I don’t believe that we “get what we pay for” where education is concerned.

Not unlike health care, the money that some folks spend on education… I don’t understand it.
