[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think one trouble in SF proper is that you have little control over what school you'll be assigned to. You can't just buy in a a good neighborhood, its a lottery system. Many suburbs have different systems that give parents more control. There are lots of very educated people in the Bay area who care a lot about their children's education. [/quote] Yes, but the problem is the state of CA education budget is in the toilet thanks to Prop 13. I grew up in CA, went to public school both pre and post Prop 13. I also used to live in an expensive part of the Bay Area when I had kids. I wasn't impressed with the public schools given the amount of property taxes I was paying, and the annual "donations" and bond measures to fund things like art and PE. They have zero gifted programs there. As much as I crap on the school system here in the DC area, one thing they get right is the amount of special programs here. [/quote]
