ParticipantThe busing is for racial integration, right? Like in Los Angeles and Pasadena

ParticipantSan Diego unified school district (under which Scripps Ranch falls) offers “choice” program wherein students can apply to a school different from what is assigned to them by their place of residence. (Details here. http://old.sandi.net/enrollmentoptions/oeochoice.html )
In my opinion this system is good. It keeps good schools in the district full, while ensuring that the students filling these schools come from motivated families, who really want to attend these schools. Thus I don’t think it results into any degradation of school quality.
This should not be confused with “busing”, which San Diego unified does not have. The busing (which in my opinion, a ridiculous solution thought of by courts) forcefully moves children around the school district randomly to achieve racial balance in schools. However it is in decline all over USA and I see no reason why it will ever be imposed on SDUSD in the next 10-20 years.

Thanks for the good explanation. I didn’t know that a school district would bus students from as far away from Scripps as from “south of the 8”. I thought the district would go to nearby areas like Mira Mesa/Sorrento Valley or Tierra Santa. Does anyone know how a school district would go about doing this ? Previously, I like Scripps a lot but this issue concerns me.
[/quote]It is a fact of life that SDUSD buses some low income kids from south of the 8 to schools in La Jolla, Mira Mesa and Scripps Ranch. In some schools, the percentage of non-local students can be 30% or more.
Case in point: La Jolla High. 20% of students in La Jolla High get free/reduced price lunches. I make more than twice the reduced price lunch threshold for my family, and I can’t afford a decent house in La Jolla. How is it possible that 20% of kids in the school are that much poorer than I? The answer is, obviously, they don’t live there, they were bused in …
I don’t know how they would go about doing these changes if they occur in the future. They can ramp up busing, they can redraw school boundaries, they can build new schools south of the 8 (if they can find the money) … no one knows really.

They may not call it busing and use any number of euphemisms, call it “Voluntary Enrollment Exchange Program”, “magnet schools”, but it is what it is. Yes, it’s voluntary, if you live in City Heights and you want to attend a crappy local school, you’re free to do so. And, since it’s voluntary, it’s more or less one way.
