Overpriced homes in Santee by Standard Pacific

“Since when is the 70th percentile “very good to very high”?”

You obviously don’t have children, so I will explain it to you much the way my son’s preschool teacher explained it to me.

I have 3 children by the way 1 above average, 1 gifted, the 3rd may be gifted as well, but is too young for testing.

Children who score above the 70 percentile are considered to be scoring in an above average area.

If you line up 100 chilren, that child will do better than 70 of his peers, that is above the average.

Some, NOT All, read carefully now, have the average scores in that area.

The API is a good way to tell if a school is reaching it’s academic progress for the year. Schools are ranked 1 to 10. 5 being AVERAGE, “most” Santee schools are ranked 8, an above average score.

May be that will clear somethings up for you since you seem not to know very much about anything.

My gifted child gets 90’s to the 100 percentile scores. Most children cannot achieve that, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BE A GENIUS,his IQ is over 130, he got a 99+(perfect score) on the RAVEN test(that’s a giftedness test, I am sure you didn’t know that either because you are so knowledgable.).

Therefore it is impossible to think that that would be like grading a paper like 90% is an “A”.

Ever see those ads for high-priced jewelry stores listing their worldwide locations?

Can you imagine this one?:

New York, Paris, Tokyo, Jerusalem, Santee

Thanks, I don’t like being the only one…….these folks need a reality check……..thanks again

Interesting grammatical, syntax and spelling errors on this thread…

[little lady]

“haha, do you know of any parents who don’t think their children are “gifted”.

I do NOT think my child is gifted,

HE IS A GENIUS and has been tested to prove it.

He has a certification on file at the school district.

He is certified GIFTED.

I am sorry YOU are retarded. Nuff said. I am not feeding this troll anymore.

[farbet]

I am thinking of buying 4 or 5 shacks in San Ysidro. Tearing them down and build a MAC Mansion.
Talk about cultural diversity.
Santee has too many gifted and talented folks who can’t pay the prices.

Sorry but I think Mira Mesa is much superior to Santee on several counts.

1) Weather. Doesn’t everyone cite weather in SD?
2) Proximity to employement centers (Qualcomm, etc..) and UCSD and Sorrento Valley, La Jolla, Del Mar.
3) Geography. MM is on a mesa with views down canyons. Santee in a bowl surrounded by mountains hence the heat and pollution in the summer.
4) Location. MM is more centrally located off the 805, 5 and 15. West of 15 is better than east of 15, IMO.
5) Food. MM has better restaurants such as the Brasserie Wine Cellar, Karl Strauss, Japanese, Thai, etc..
6) Housing. The north side of MM with views down Los Penasquitos is much better. There are million dollar architect designed houses on Shaw Lopez, a little gem street in a sea of tract houses.
5) Recreation. Hiking, horse back riding, biking in Los Penasquitos Canyon Reserve.

I’m in Mira Mesa and Santee for work frequently. And I prefer MM by far.

I have to say that the drive into Santee is pretty on a foggy morning. Driving into Santee feels like you’re going a long way into a different county because there are no developments past Santo Rd. Then as you come down mountain into Santee, you can see the sun rising in the east and burning off the fog. I think of Santee as the Emerald City (Wizard of Oz).

[drunkle]

the original post commented on how overpriced he thought standard pacific’s project in santee was… not as if the rest of sd county is not overpriced…

yes. santee is overpriced. for the money, it sucks. if prices in santee were realistic, it would then be a trade off, price for value; it’s better than city/logan heights, it’s worse than carlsbad.

santee is by no means shangri la, geez.

This has got to be one of the funniest threads I’ve ever seen!

Which department at the district handles all the “genius certification filings”;)? Or, perhaps, the file it wound up in was the “circular file”.

Trust me…I am a certified “near-genius” and being a genius ain’t what it used to be. There was a genius scoring bubble in the last few years.

[VoZangre]

This thread had me laughing aloud…

test-score crazed soccer mom driving 120 mph to La Jolla to enroll her genius in a private school…

anti-Mexican racism in what was once Mexico, land taken by the bizarre divine-right argument of westward expansion at the extinction of native peoples…

( he who is sick
of being sick
is not sick… Lao Tsu)

jajajajaja!

($500k in Santee is indeed a steep overprice…)

[losgatos200]

who wants to live in Mexican slum with a bunch of alkies and druggies for $500K ?

[rube]

I’ve never been to Santee. Santee sucks. Mexican geniuses everywhere. people drive too fast in Santee.

[Anonymous]

gatos, are you implying that Santee is full of Mexican slums? Santee always seemed like a mostly white middle-class area to me. But I haven’t been around there in a while so who knows.

Frankly, if you want to criticize an area for being full of Mexican slums, druggies and alkies you could be describing nearly any community in Socal. For example, PB certainly fits into that category as well and it is much more expensive than Santee.

[VoZangre]

Being half Mexican this anti-Mexican slant in what was once Mexico is quite distasteful…

how gringo racist can y’all be?

Perhaps you’d like to re-institute lynchings?
Start in Old Town and eat churros while you take picture postcards for your grankids…

cago en la memoria de tus abuelitas…
