Over-rated school district for the premium.
It continues to crack me up that people are willing to pay $200K more for LCO vs. SEH due to zip code and school district. For goodness sakes, they are right accross the freakin street from each other!

Compare the LCO schools to SEH schools as ranked by greatschools.net (10 pt scale):

Elementary:
Mission Estancia – 10 (930 API)
SEH – 9 (898 API)

Middle:
Diegueno – 9 (872 API)
SEH – 9 (851 API)

High:
LCC – 8 (805 API)
SMH – 8 (773 API)

Even funnier are the folks who pay $150K more for LCR…they get the same schools but I guess the 92009 is where the real value is.

You are not so naive to think that the premium of whatever it is represents schools alone? How about MR that are several thousand dollars less a year? How about an HOA that gets you country club quality recreation facilities instead of a town square with a fountain? How about access to city owned golf course? How about a drive to work that is 10 to 15 minutes shorter each way? How about nearby access to shopping, beaches, health care, restaurants and more?

My children are in the EUSD. I will give you that the scores are close BUT the scores aren’t what make those schools great. The parent involvement at those schools is unreal. A teacher could sneeze and there are parents lined up to offer tissue.

I have contemplated SEH but to be honest I don’t want my kids at SMHS and I don’t want them in private school. Sounds snooty but I know for a fact that there are many people like me who will pay the premium.

Let’s See:
MR = ~$200/mth higher or $35K home value. Point to sdr.

HOA = LCO and LCR with ‘country club’ quality? I’ll give you LCV for sure, but LCO and LCR have a gate and an exercise bike for their $300/month. Point to wfb.

Drive to work – You assume everyone drives to the 5. I don’t. My neighbors don’t. My 2,000 co-workers don’t. LCO and SEH are the same distance to my work. Point to wfb.

SEH isn’t near shopping, beaches, health care, etc.? OK, 10-15 minutes further than LCO. Point to sdr.

I’ve evaluated this extensively over the past two years. I really can’t justify paying a $200K premium for LCR or LCO.
