Carlsbad vs. San Marcos: If you want to send your kids to public HS with good API, live in San Marcos, not Carlsbad.

I know friends who send their kids to private schools. Their peers are all from parents who have the money to put them to private schools. They expect the latest cell phones, designer clothes and snowboarding trips from their parents as a given. Yes they do well academically too but I want my kids to be in public school to associate with peers from different social and economic backgrounds.

The areas I’m looking to buy are all gated track homes unless I can afford a lot more to buy a non-track. They got multiple tot lots and a community pool both only 10 houses away and I saw a lot of young kids playing on the streets (within the gated community). I don’t like track homes and HOA but my options are limited. Are tot lots and community pools almost as good as having your own yard and pool? Do the gates make the street safer for kids? It sounds like silly questions but I never lived in a gated place or a place with community pool before.

Among the five communities you mentioned, Rosalena is the longest walk to the beach (lack of pedestrian access gates) and you probably will have to bike to surf rather than carrying the board for that distance. They are older (built in 1989) and you can hear the noise from I-5. If a buyer’s budget is around $1M, they would probably pick the Bay Collection rather than Rosalena.

I have been looking at these South Carlsbad communities for years also so I have been tracking the schools’ performance. All these communities are in a good school district. The kids go to these schools:

Pacific Rim Elementary – One of the top schools in California. Higher API score (970) than any other elementary schools in Carmel Valley or Encinitas.

Aviara Oaks Middle School – Good API score (875) but did not score as high as the top middle schools in Encinitas (955) and Carmel Valley (960).

Carlsbad High – API 812. Again it scores below Encinitas and Carmel Valley. But there will be a new high school opening 2013 (Sage Creek High School). I hope the new high school will eventually be as good as the two in Carmel valley.

API is only one aspect of school performance. Lack of gangs and plentiful of attentive parents are as important.
