Skyranch in Santee

[Coronita]

[quote=sunny88][quote=flu][quote=Hobie]Exactly. And will they take public transportation from Santee to LJ Country Day? And mom certainly is not driving from Skyranch to LJ 2x/day.[/quote]

I went through this right now with a my bosses, former bosses, 2 colleagues, 2 neighbors, and 1 friend.

Conclusion?

Most of them moved to an area with a better school district, because they couldn’t afford 12 years of private school for 2 kids (and these are double income, higher income families)…The remaining ones were very well off families: didn’t blink about shelling out $20-30k/year per kid, and aren’t thinking about trying to save $100-200k on a home purchase.

Well said, I think if you cannot afford to live in a good school district you are also not able to pay for a good private school.[/quote]

Well, let’s not overgeneralize. I’m sure there are exceptions…Just giving my observations about what people are doing.

There are very few students at Bishop’s or Country Day from the East County or South Bay.

Bishops has two bus stops on Bonita Road in the South Bay. It drops off students at about 3:05 and 3:10 there. In the morning, there are several students waiting for the Bishops bus at the Bonita Post Office. Not sure where the other stops are around here.

We now have Mater Dei Catholic located in Otay Ranch to replace the old Marion Catholic in Nestor. All the instructors at Mater Dei and its sister school Cathedral Catholic possess Doctorates. Many instructors for Mater Dei were brought in from Ohio. Since Marion (in Nestor) and Uni (in Linda Vista) were closed, the tuition for these two new schools more than doubled. It is now more than $9,500 per year for the first student in a family! It is an all-college prep curriculum, though, and the campuses resemble college campuses.
