I get your point about the income. That's why I am trying to see if there's any possibility in living in a cheaper area which is "commutable" to SV twice per week, and possibly leaving room for a private school. What about [b]Monterey county[/b]?

Regarding the privilege bingo thing - I'm not looking if that particular "privilege bingo" is part of a curriculum. I just brought it up as an example of something which was not acceptable in Fairfax, if (hypothetically) existed in SV if it would be acceptable. Based on other's comments it would, and for me this is a no-no.

Regarding pronouns - ok about "they" etc, but is it fine if a kid refuses to identify pronouns? Will that kid be still "welcome", or will it get "ostracized"?[/quote]
Prepare to spend 4+ hours commuting.

To get to SV from Monterey you have to get through the Santa Cruz mountains.

One day, around 10am on a weekday, go onto google maps, and map from Monterey to SV.  See how long google maps is telling you it would take.

A PP had it right.. if you want less liberal, you need to move way further out, which means it's not only cheaper, but the commute will be hell.

Also, CA is looking to slow down math progression which prevents students from taking Alg 1 until they reach HS, so if that's important to you, then be aware.  They like to frame it as "harder Algebra 1" in 9th, but this leads to kids doubling math (Alg and Geometry) in order to reach Calc by 12th grade.  And yep, it's all in the name of equity.

But this isn't true for private schools, is it? Maybe OP can look at private schools in wealthy areas and see if he can qualify for financial aid.[/quote]
