Where are the best elementary schools in Coastal San Diego?

Question

I am looking to relocate to San Diego, and am looking for recommendations for Elementary schools in the area. We are looking from Encinitas to Pacific beach, and want to consider where the "good" schools are...

Answer 1

Hello! Here are the top 5 elementary schools in that area, ranked by 2006 Academic Performance Index (API) score:

1. Sage Canyon Elem. School (Del Mar) - 966
2. Ashley Falls Elem. School (Del Mar) - 958
3. Carmel Creek Elem. School (Solana Beach) - 956
4. Solana Pacific Elem. School (Solana Beach) - 954
5. Torrey Hills Elem. School (Del Mar) - 952

Note that the statewide performance target is 800, so all of these schools are doing considerably better than the average. API ranges from 200 to 1000, based on statewide test scores, so these schools are doing very well indeed.

I would suggest relocating to Del Mar since the top two elementary schools by API are located in the Del Mar school district. I would also suggest Del Mar since the Sage Canyon school district overall (including middle and high schools) is the best-performing school district in that area. That's something important to consider for when your children move on to middle school or high school. However, if you like Solana Beach, the difference in test scores between the Solana Beach and Del Mar school districts isn't that large. Either way, your children will be getting a great education. Del Mar, Solana Beach, and Carmel Valley all have excellent schools, better than the ones further south on San Diego's coast to Pacific Beach.

Good luck with your move!
