That’s a good question. I don’t have the answer.

Of course you could “cheat”. Not tell them you moved… But there’s a risk of being caught. And the school district does send out mailings periodically – likes your kids’ CST scores, results of GATE testing, etc. You’d probably get busted when those bounced.

I’m not sure what the policy is if you have been in a school and move outside – but still within the boundary. It might vary by school. I know of one case where a student who’d grown up in the La Jolla schools was accepted at La Jolla HS after her parents moved out of SDUSD to Poway. (Out of district is a bigger hurdle than out of boundary but within district.) But she had to show strong ties – still active at La Jolla High because she participated in all sorts of school sponsored extra-curricular activities… strong ties to the community/school body, still super active in LJ Presbyterian youth program… In other words – she’d had 9-10 years of hanging with the same kids, doing the same activities when her mom and step dad rudely moved her outside of the district. So there are ways of getting exceptions made… but sometimes you have to work it.

Here’s the link to the district school choice thing.

http://www.sandi.net/20451072011450793/site/default.asp

Once the child is accepted at the elementary – younger siblings are automatically accepted also. And they’re in to that middle and high school. (So choicing into Birdrock will ensure your child can go to La Jolla HS.)

Consider also applying for magnet schools that feed into relatively better high schools. Spreckels, in UC, is a magnet – and it would ensure your child went to Standley middle and UCHS.

You can apply for BOTH magnet and choice – so you double your odds of getting out of your home school boundary.

I like the area North of CMB, east of Gennesee, west of 805 – especially the homes on San Clemente Canyon. These home are in the Hawthorne Elementary school area. I have a friend who sends her son to Hawthorne because she liked their Seminar program better than the one at Spreckels (in UC). She LOVES the school. Not sure how much of that is stictly love of this school’s seminar program.

I have friends who live off of Mt. Herbert – west of Genesee, north of Balboa. There are some really cool houses along finger canyons that run through there.

One of the schools over there is Muir – it’s a charter school that is K-12. Friends who send their kids there are really impressed with the school. I’m impressed with the parent volunteers that did all the new landscaping last year. (My children’s piano teacher is in the neighborhood so I watched them work on weekends.)

I have a friend who taught at Field (near the Clairemont Square) for several years. It’s student population has a lot of english learners – so that’s a data point for you.

As far as middle schools and high schools… I went to Marston and Clairemont HS… I turned out ok. But I just had my 30th HS reunion… so my data is a bit out of date. LOL.
