CUSD vs SDUHSD
The general consensus seems to be “SDUHSD is better,” but can someone explain why? Looking at the stats for Carlsbad HS vs La Costa Canyon, or Sage Creek vs San Dieguito, it’s not clear to me why the latter two are considered better. (I understand that CCA pulls SDUHSD upwards, but are folks in Carlsbad really sending their kids down there?)
Edit for more context: we’re currently looking to buy in south Carlsbad and are aware that some areas go to CUSD, some to SDUHSD, and some to San Marcos. There appears to be a premium for areas that pull to SDUHSD, and a discount for SMUSD, and I’d like to understand why. In reality we’re many years off from needing to care — oldest is 2, so if anything we slightly prefer CUSD for the free public TK — and many things may change in the next 12 years (heck, from current trajectories maybe SMUSD will be the best!), but I’d love to hear people’s thoughts on the matter.
