    [quote=jpinpb]It is a new community in the best school district. Other than that, I can’t think of what’s so great about it. [/quote]

    I think Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar Elementary, SOlana Beach Elementary and Carmel Unified are all ranked higher than Poway Unified.

    It is new, not that far from employment centers and more afordable than CV. We’ll see what will happen when the novelty wears off leaving mello-roos and HOA behind.

    BG – I’m w/you. I know people that live in 4$ and well they just act like they’re happier than pigs in doo living there. Like it’s the cat’s meow. Any time I go there, it creeps me out. Like driving through Stepford (wives) or something. Surreal.

    But to each his own. I’m hoping more people want to move there and less buyers for the coast.

    I will never understand how Poway Unified got such a great reputation. Their schools look great in the test scores until you compare them to districts with similar socioeconomic status. Then they are just middle of the road, nothing special. I’m beginning to think “great schools” is just a code phrase for “no brown people”.

    My wife is a teacher and doesn’t want to have anything to do with that district after talking to people who worked there. It’s hard to know what’s worse: the spoiled kids or their my-little-Johnny-can-do-no-wrong parents.

    Disclaimer: I’m a homemaker and we’re homeschooling our kids, so I don’t really have a dog in this fight.

    We were circling in to buy a home in the Poway school district about 15 yrs ago. We were probably within a week of putting in an offer.

    The house was located across a 4-lane road from the elementary school, which bordered the 4-lane road. I went to the school and talked to the staff and found out there were NO crossing guards to assist kids in getting across the street.

    I couldn’t believe it!

    I figured if a school district didn’t take children’s safety very seriously, then it really didn’t matter what else they did.
