Sabre Springs vs Scripps Ranch schools

[ocrenter]

[quote=gn]ocrenter,

Is this because in the older parts of Scripps, the children of the homeowners are growing out of school age ? If that is true, then other neighborhoods like Carmel Valley would have the same problem, wouldn’t they ?[/quote]

sorry gn, was away.

to answer the question, the problem with scripps is demographics.

there’s no new housing developments. within the SCHS draw area. But there is plenty of new housing in adjacent poway school district areas that entice high earning families.

most homeowners, even if they would prefer to downsize and move away, if they can’t get the right price, they’ll stay put. therefore, new families with children don’t move in.

last major home developement within Scripps was nearly a decade ago. give another decade, and all of the kids from that era would have moved through the schools.

so the area would be primarily empty nesters. so where do you think students will be coming from 10-15 years down the line?

a couple of comments relative to this thread…

As far as busing: SDUSD does do busing in some cases.
– Children may be bused for magnet schools. My sister teaches at Spreckels – which is a magnet. A large percentage of their kids are from the neighborhood or choiced in (no bus) but even with budget cuts a good percentage of Spreckels kids are bused in.

– For students who live in the boundary of a failing school (no child left behind). They can choose to attend another school of their choice, within the district – and the district pays to bus them there.

As to Scripps elementary… I learned an interesting nugget the other night. It is one of 3 schools in SDUSD that chooses NOT to have a GATE program. Obviously, their test scores are good and one can presume they have a decent percentage of GATE identified students. But they’ve chosen not to have a program. I don’t think that should be a deciding factor, but it is something I just learned. (Another is Barnard, and I forgot the name of the third.) Again – I don’t think the GATE thing is a deciding factor in any way. The teachers there may do a fine job of differentiation, etc… and not want the hassles. The budget allotment is NOT a motivating factor for schools to have a GATE program.

There’s enough children in the area to keep middle & high schools near capacity for the next 10 years.

Based on their estimate, there should be enough children in the area to keep MS & HS at today capacity for the next 20 years.
