Participant“haha, do you know of any parents who don’t think their children are “gifted”.
I do NOT think my child is gifted,
HE IS A GENIUS and has been tested to prove it.
He has a certification on file at the school district.
He is certified GIFTED.
I am sorry YOU are retarded. Nuff said. I am not feeding this troll anymore.

Thanks, I don’t like being the only one…….these folks need a reality check……..thanks again
Participant“Since when is the 70th percentile “very good to very high”?”
You obviously don’t have children, so I will explain it to you much the way my son’s preschool teacher explained it to me.
I have 3 children by the way 1 above average, 1 gifted, the 3rd may be gifted as well, but is too young for testing.
Children who score above the 70 percentile are considered to be scoring in an above average area.
If you line up 100 chilren, that child will do better than 70, that is above the average.
My gifted child gets 90’s to the 100 percentile scores. Most children cannot achieve that, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BE A GENIUS,his IQ is over 130, he got a 99+(perfect score) on the RAVEN test(that’s a giftedness test, I am sure you didn’t know that either because you are so knowledgable.).
Therefore it is impossible to think that that would be like grading a paper like 90% is an “A”.
Some, NOT All, read carefully now, have the average scores in that area.
The API is a good way to tell if a school is reaching it’s academic progress for the year. Schools are ranked 1 to 10. 5 being AVERAGE, “most” Santee schools are ranked 8, an above average score.
May be that will clear somethings up for you since you seem not to know very much about anything.

ParticipantI could care less if you like it, but FACTS ARE FACTS.
You keep making false statements about things you know obviously nothing about.
I put out the data, but apparently you can not understand it.
Never come here, it would make my life a lot easier. However, commenting on traffic,crime, commute times, schools, levels of income and education, when you are to ignorant to get that facts makes you look ridiculous.
By the way, to whomever it was that was misguided enough to mention that I was trying to make people believe it was a great place to live,
TO ME IT IS, I don’t care what dumpy neighborhood’s you all hail from. But that facts are we have good schools, low crime,and nice family neighborhoods. At better prices than the coastal areas.
By the way, you aren’t catching any folks out here bashing the coastal areas, with its shitty schools, massive traffic problems, gangs, crime, graffiti, bums and neighborhoods where your kids can’t even play outside.
Read the demographics, if you can……

you grew up and still living in Santee? WOW!…”How old are you 5?
“Little lady Go live in Santee please”
What planet are you on? I said I live there.

I could care less what you think. I am correcting the inacurate comments. I agree with her discription as well, to me it seems better though. I have a problem with people claiming things that are incorrect. Like the school test scores being low for one. It’s not true. Do I want more people to come? No.
I disagree to her, you and others about the commute time. We have traffic, but to the majority of San Diego it has relatively short commutes. When there is traffic congestion, which is FAR worse in most other parts of the county, especially coastal.
Go pic on Mira Mesa, look how many people live in that hell hole!
ParticipantABSOLUTELY! AND I bet they even came down!
ParticipantGood schools
Distance from Santee on Mapquest:
Total Est. Distance: 19.17 miles
Across the 52 freeway is 14 miles, unless you drive 20mph on the freeway it DOES NOT TAKE 25 minutes! I drive 65, so it takes 10 minutes.
You NEED to bring DATA!
Local Demographics
Primarily
Middle to Upper Middle classhttp://www.ci.santee.ca.us/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=3
Low crime rates
From wikpedia,
AND I QUOTE “Santee has one of the lowest crime rates in the County and the city also prides itself on having a stable local economy, well-maintained streets and infrastructure, and family-based neighborhoods.”Participantoops
Participant"The only way Santee is 10 minutes from La Jolla is by helicopter"
IT IS 10 minutes from my house to the end of 52 frwy, which ends in La Jolla.
I never drive down Mission Gorge to even go that way , you don’t have to when you live right off the freeway, you don’t know what you are talking about.
I drive it every summer to take my kids to the beach, sorry. It is not 10 minutes from every part. Just from one end of 52 to the other.
Every place has roads with lots of traffic, that will make a commute longer. "The afternoon into Santee from San Diego is a nightmare.
“I drove it a couple of time and I won't do it again.” "
Good stay away, rush hour traffic sucks. It is worse in the city.
“A co-worker was bragging about how great a deal their son got on a new place, good view, low 500s and all the upgrades”
We love our community, as I am sure you love yours. It is a great place to raise kids. We have a high percentage of military. It is a middle to upper middle class so folks tend to feel it is a good deal. I tends to be less expensive than the coastal areas. It’s fairly centrally located. I really think all the new communities are nice, but 500k anywhere is over inflated.
Listen if you don’t want to live here or come here that’s great.
People here like it, you like where you live,
BUT I WOULDN’T.
Participant“ok, I’ll take yer word for it, but the school scores suck and I been there”
You do not know what you are talking about. They are very good to very high. Average in the 70 percentile range. Most students test at above the 50 percentile.
The area is infact being upgraded ALL the time. We have LOTS of new construction. All of our elementary schools are going to undergo a make over and upgrading.
You have NOT looked at the test scores.
I will stay and hopefully YOU will stay away.
Of course “YOU CANNOT AFFORD”……..LOL
Participant“Its the Mission Possible hype.I am sure it’s a bust”
Actually, they’re selling pretty well, most people feel differently.
ParticipantAs a matter of fact I live in Santee, and grew up here. Your perceptions are somewhat delusional. As everywhere there are drugs in Santee. However, Santee boasts one of the lowest crimerates in San diego county. We also have above average schools..
“No point in living 30-40 miles from the nice parts of San Diego. I betcha the commute on the 52 from Santee is an absolute nightmare. ”
NOPE, not really, there is traffic but it keeps moving.
The commute to downtown is like 20 minutes. La Jolla is 10 minutes. You don’t live here and you don’t have a clue to what you are talking about.
It’s desert hot, 2 months out of the year. It sucks! (You have to have air conditioning, and a pool.)
No place is perfect. For the money, it is in my opinion the best buy in the county. Good schools, safe neighborhoods, nice homes, short commute.)
September 21, 2007 at 9:53 PM in reply to: Does anyone know anything about 9810 Old Tree,Santee, 92071 #85525Participant“Does Santee really have good schools? Compared to what?”
Yes, above average schools. Carlton Oaks is a GATE Magnet. Very high test scores on par with Poway/Temecula.
Westhills high has the highest test scores in the district, also considered very above average.
Above average meaning above state average, and if you investigate, they win their share of awards.
Thanks so much. Apparently, the map claims they are in an area that they ARE NOT. It is not as good a deal as I thought, those are condo’s. It is listed as a single family no wonder there are no pictures!
Participant“Abandonded house? Where do you live? Detroit?”
Santee, and heck yeah… There are about half a dozen homes I can think of abandoned, foreclosed, sitting EMPTY..some for more than a year!!
The last time I saw that TEMECULA ’94.
It didn’t even get that bad in Santee back then!
