hi,
i have lived in SF for 16 years and have three elementary aged children (2 in K and 1 in 2nd). We are at a GREAT public school (Clarendon) which may/may not feed into Presidio middle school.
We are very close to closing on a house in San Rafael. Reasons for the move include:
1. We can afford a home that fits our family of 5
2. I'm sick of the fog/cold
3. Schools
We intend to send our children to public schools through high school.
The home in San Rafael would have us attending Sun Valley Elementary, Davidson Middle and SRHigh. I'm happy with Sun Valley - it seems similar to the education my children currently receive. I'm less thrilled about the middle and high school.
Is Davidson as bad as some of the online forums make it seem? I want a diverse school as it is a big concern as we think about leaving the city. Just by looking at data/paper alone, it seems like I'm swapping Asian diversity for Hispanic diversity. Also on paper, Asian students perform much higher than Hispanic students and so the overall performance at these schools reflects that.
Would love some real life input - people who know San Rafael and these schools in particular.
thanks!
