No need to be insulted.  Someone called me elitist.  Should I be insulted for that gross prejudice judgment?  I immigrated when I was a teen and grew up in LA downtown so it's not just you.  Also have kids in Irvine and saw plenty of teachers who didn't care much also. I didn't make a lot of...

I think it get messy if your kid is a star player.  Unless a kid is legally transferred between two schools, the entire team can get penalized for ineligibility.  This may be little different but transfers are very sensitive in high school sports because they don't want coaches lure better...

For those who are interested in Legado, are you waiting for a larger lot sites?  Would you buy any of those even thought they back main streets and also the move in date may be way out in 2017?  Just curious...

I see some discussion in Cressa thread but no this Legado.  Is everyone waiting for the next phase to come out or the interest in PS III dying out because of toxic issues and other rumors?  Columbus Grove was in the same situation many years ago but eventually they all got sold out and the price...

They create their own path after they grow up.  But while they are minor, kids will be affected by decisions that I'm making as a parent. So not sure what your point was but my whole thing on this thread was to see what other parents think of moving about of Irvine... To if I'm the only one...

I agree but nothing illegal that I'm talking about.  If a school has room for transfers, why not.  Also zones change.  Some folks in Irvine were quite upset when they paid a lot of money to be in Uni High but will change to Woodbridge this years and to be in Woodbridge just to having to go to...

Then how about this.  I just did a quick search on Tesero High and Trabuco Canyon High.  They are both like 75% white, 7% Asian and others.  Quite different than Irvine high schools were 40 to 50% Asian, 25 ~ 30 whites, and the others. Are there any Asian parents or know any one who are having...

I don't know if you agree with or not but this thread was never meant to be about high scores or GPAs...  It was about parental decision (financial, social, and quality of life) that may affect a teenage kid.  In a way it was about education (non-academic). I just wanted to know if there were...

Here is another question mainly for folks living in Tustin School District.  (I'm just wondering.  I'm not desperate or ready to move) Within IUSD, I heard it's not easy to even do instradistrict transfers.  I heard moving out of Uni High or Woodbridge to Irvine and Northwood is easier since...

No disrespect but Irvine Fanatic may not be a parent or know much about education/school system...  Some of the most caring teachers are in inner cities and ghetto areas.  In those areas, I have friends who mentioned that no matter what they do, most students wouldn't do much.  They almost...

I meant students behavior, caring teachers, school violence or safety, facility, reputation (not just academic but clubs, sports) and etc... If you have a lot of money, you are a good person?  High score doesn't mean a school is good (at least to me).  That just tells me that parents are well...

I'm not sure how # of hours doing homework kinda became the focus, but my original point is, for a kid who spent first 7, 8 years of schooling in Irvine, is it fair or better/worse for him to move to different school district/high school especially because his parents decide to move for a...

Do you know anyone (or did you) move out of Irvine and moved their kids from Irvine Schools (especially high school) and actually is/are so glad? I talked to a lady who did move to Lake Forest. She happens to be white and felt like a fish out of water being among mostly Asians in Irvine.  She's...

I don't write a lot in the forum but I though it was little strange to have no posts on Legado thread for full 24 hours especially since they just had a grand opening...  Is everyone busy signing papers at the sales office or the interest on Legado not as hot as Eastwood or other places???

It sounds like Eastwood is getting a lot of interest and momentum...  so likely the prices will go up for later phase and lots which will be way out of my league since the initial prices for the types of houses that I would like are already upper limit of my budgets... But a few mentioned that...

I have to agree with you.  High 9 ft ceiling kinda makes up for it but 2000 sq ft plus, I don't think.  Plan 1 and Plan 2 had master bathrooms with ballroom dance floor.. for what I don't know.  Portola homes with drive ways move the garage right in the center of the home so often you have...

I saw Legado on Saturday morning and had to go again late afternoon because my spouse was working on that day. Legado had a large crowd in the morning. I would say "well mixed" compared to other grand openings, but still majority was Chinese group.  It was amazing how the 2nd visit in the...

Magic you knew the "fact" which was you can't send your future kids to schools in Irvine when you live in Lake Forest... You just wanted to know if you could lie and get a way with... giving all Chineses bad name... shame on you... If I were your fianc?, I would think twice about getting married...

ACF, I doubt it.  I'm surprised Piedmont and Belvedere are starting at low million.  Even Marin, which is similar size in Terreza but not as good is starting high $800k.  Terreza plan 1 is mid $800k.  I have feeling that because of low interest rate, they'll play like this is the best time...

Does anyone know what the tax rate (including mello roo) and HOA for PS III?  In comparison to Eastwood or Orchard Hills? I heard Cypress Village actually has low tax rate overall like 1.2% or 1.3% is this true?  Thanks.
