ParticipantThanks, sreeb. When we did our remodel, I don’t think that was the case. Good to know.

I don’t know how this is the case, but they must have received an exception or transfer into DMUSD (which is extremely difficult to do these days) because Winstanley Way is north of Del Mar Heights Rd and is therefore NOT in the DMUSD district (boundary map found here: http://locator.decisioninsite.com/Default.aspx?StudyID=45346), but is in Solana Beach district (district boundary map found here: http://www.sbsd.k12.ca.us/District/Facilities/Attend04.jpg.
If you zoom in on either map, you’ll see that the DMUSD district truly DOES NOT extend north of Del Mar Heights Road (once you’re east of the I-5), as I stated before. I hate to keep pressing the issue, but I just want to make sure the OP doesn’t get further confused. It’s simple enough to just go to the source (the boundary maps on each district’s website) to confirm.
As you can also see from the maps, some of the streets behind the Highlands shopping center (even though they’re south of DM Heights Rd) are also outside of DMUSD, and those kids attend Solana Pacific (the Solana Beach district school that’s next to the Carmel Valley library) or Carmel Creek (another SB district elementary school that’s smack in the middle of Carmel Valley). In addition, residents of Pacific Highlands Ranch (EDIT: the NEWER section of Pacific Highlands Ranch), Fairbanks Ranch and other developments in the northeast part, basically bordering on Rancho Penasquitos, also attend Solana Beach school district, not San Diego Unified.
The boundaries seem very random now but maybe made sense at some time (probably before Carmel Valley was built up). In any case, these boundaries are clearly tricky for anyone to know, but must be even more bizarre for a newcomer, who may not even know to ask.
As flu mentioned, both Solana Beach elementary school district and DMUSD are equally excellent, and once 7th grade rolls around, they’re all in the same middle/high school district so for most people, it’s probably not an issue. But, if someone has their heart set on sending a kid to DMUSD, it would be a shocker if they bought a house in Carmel Valley and then realized their kids would go to the Solana Beach district for elementary school.

ParticipantWoah, BG, not sure I understand where you’re coming from on all this so I think I’ll just leave it alone. My point was never to push Carmel Valley (or Mello Roos) on anyone. In fact, I live in a non-Mello Roos area in Del Mar, which is also within the same elementary school district (DMUSD) as Carmel Valley, as you probably know. We live in an older neighborhood where we bought a house built in 1968 and fixed it up. No Mello Roos involved. And, more power to anyone who wants to live in San Diego Unified, or anywhere else for that matter. I’m simply trying to respond to the OP and provide opinions/info based on my experience and am truly not biased towards or against any one neighborhood. It’s such a personal decision, and I don’t understand your frequent insistence on trying to sell one place over another, especially without knowing an individual’s needs or tastes.
Anywho…
A couple of small clarifications to flu’s post: he mentions by name the two most impacted schools in the DMUSD district as Sage Canyon and East Ocean, but the name of the 2nd one is actually Ocean Air, not East Ocean. I know flu knows this and East Ocean is probably close enough, but I just wanted to clarify for the OP, who is probably confused enough already! Also, I think the Solana Beach school district extends much further east from El Camino Real into the 92130 zipcode. I’m pretty sure that, once you get east of I-5 the whole area north of Del Mar Heights Rd all the way up to the end of DM Heights Rd, where Canyon Crest Academy is located, lies within Solana Beach school district (including Pacific Highlands Ranch).
