I don't know why my experience is so different from the majority opinions here.  And as far as I know, many parents from my kids' school don't like combo class.  Is this something unique about Irvine too? When my daughter was in 1st grade, she was placed into a 1st/2nd grade combo and she was 1...

The children is defined as 3-9?  8)

I will be happy to do that, only if I can grasp the spots again within one hour!

I was able to get 2 spots for my kids within one hour the camp registration opened.  Within 1.5 hour after it opened all the spots got taken. But we ended up not being able to go because of schedule conflict.  None of my friends who didn't sign up or my kids' class was interested to take over...

My 7 and 11 year old like Dr. Patrick Lee at ABC kids dental. The office is new and kids friendly.  (They not only have TV and video games in the waiting area but also screen on the ceiling so that the kids can watch movies while the doctor is doing his job.)  And the staffs are very helpful. ...

SoCal, Unfortunately our city is not Foothill Ranch.  Although we went there for restaurants a lot.  I like the California fish grill place and Inka Mama!!!

Nope I actually consciously avoided Irvine when we were house shopping for some reasons.

Hi SoCal, I am actually not far away from you.  Haha don't be surprised that I know which city you live as I have been a casual faithful reader here.  Our street has views of Saddleback Mountain, let's just say that.  I guess ppl like guessing game here?!  ;D

Thanks IHO for asking.  We are very happy with non-Irvine living.  The schools are nice and the neighbors are very friendly. I hike up the hills in our neighborhood everyday and get quite a workout out of it.  You know I prefer hills than flatland like Irvine has.  I enjoyed every bit of it! ...

ISH, ;)  Wish you send more baits out to the ocean.  We need more fish swimming back!

I am very curious about what the APAAS is since we don?t have that in our school district.  Ok since in another thread my identity was questioned (never expected that!), I will disclose more facts about me.  >:D We are with SVUSD, and they cluster GATE students in the same classroom starting...

zovall you have very good memory! Yes I found those locked threads interesting and relevant to me so I am out of the closet now ;D

Hi IHO, My kid is in GATE program but not in Irvine.  She has been always in GATE since 2nd grade so I don't know if the work is more than regular class.  One thing I know though is that my friend has kids in one private school in Anaheim and they have way more works than my daughter's class.

Sounds like harder to get acceptance here than from IVY colleges!!!

I certainly never expected that my first post just scratched a landmine ::)

hmmm...shall I swear that I am really a newbie? 8) I am really here for getting more information as I will face the decision very soon.

Too bad the two threads are locked.  I'd like to know your thoughts (IHS may have more insights) on sending kids to a magnet school (like Troy) or just stay with the home district high school.  But I guess this would not be an issue for Irvine parents because they firmly believe that Irvine has...
