I talked to several friends about the Del Norte High school opening in Sept 2009. It is more personal opinions and observations.
We saw many asians buying new houses in north of 4S recently, many young couples and family with young kids too. We heard they talked to the agents inside the sales office. The agent always asks where they work and their jobs, they work in IT, ucsd professor, PhD…. . We believe they have higher education and usually their kids have better score in school and activities.
The Del Norte high school surely needs several years to develop the fame. Also, it is new so we believe the school facility should be better and updated.

July 13, 2009 at 11:28 AM #428924carliParticipantThere are several misconceptions here –
1) Torrey Pines HS is THE default high school for Carmel Valley so your kids WILL be able to attend TPHS if you live in Carmel Valley, in any part of Carmel Valley serviced by the Del Mar Union School District (the elementary school district). You can easily verify this information and the district map on the school website, http://www.sduhsd.net. Maybe you’re defining Carmel Valley differently than I am. There are neighborhoods farther east that some people still consider Carmel Valley close to Santaluz that are actually in the Poway school district (obviously, also an excellent district).
2) Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) is not at all a less desirable choice for residents of the district. To the contrary, many people prefer to have their kids attend CCA for a variety of reasons, never fearing that the academics are inferior. The CCA API scores are at the same level as TPHS (I think the API total is literally within one point), and the advantage to many kids is that CCA is a smaller school. There is a great focus on arts and sciences, with an arts conservatory program. There is no football team, which can be a plus if your kid is not an uber-athlete/jock type or a yay-rah cheerleader type. Still, their athletic teams are topnotch. It’s also on the 4×4 class schedule, allowing kids to concentrate more on certain subjects and/or take a variety of electives. This can be very intense, but many kids love it. Just depends on what’s best for your kids. Either school is great and CCA has just been open for 5 years (hence, they have amazing new facilities) and so their reputation is not yet as wide-reaching as TPHS.

July 13, 2009 at 1:06 PM #428949freshmanParticipantTrue, new school needs time to establish fame. It all depends on the standard of people living around.
Trade off between CV and 4S. CV seems to guarantee house price and school district but you need to pay more. Appreciateion rate in CV is lower than 4S because CV has high value already. The housing price didn’t drop much in CV. $650k can buy CV house around 1700 square feet and buy 3000 square feet in 4S now. Higher MR and HOA can keep well-finance and well-qualified people in the area especially under the strict bank rules now. You pay what you enjoy.
