I think the program is not a one size fits all and no public school programs can provide that. If your kid enjoys all subjects, enjoys digging deeper into projects and don't mind a heavy workload then it is a good fit.  Personally I felt that the curriculum could use some updating, also I didn't...

A realtor friend told me there seems to be a trend that many families are looking to move to Portola Springs so their kids can attend Portola high. Uni High principal is now the principal in Portola high and many seniors were accepted to highly ranked schools as well as Ivies this school year...

Will some of these homes have view? Any guess to the pricing?

Not able to show enough down payment without selling my home.

I am in need of some professional advise..  I saw a new home I like in Orchard Hills, as you all know , Irvine Pacific doesn't t take buyer property sale contingency.... but my situation is that I am unable to buy without selling my current home first. I am told by the sales person that there is...

Did some more digging, incredible. ... cancer cluster near the site, this is from an operational site in the 1940s-1950s, so almost 65 years ago?!!  These residents lived near the toxic site, not on the toxic site...

Do you own due diligence,  I don't have any stake and am just an Irvine resident, no hidden agenda.  http://www.wsj.com/articles/radioactive-hot-spot-prompts-researchers-concerns-1461874573

The vets deserve to choose their final resting place, be the old site or the newly proposed swapped site. They didn't go to battle based on bad Feng Shui concerns or any other selfish reasons, they went to battle to protect you and me (all Americans).  Chinese need to know you now live in...

Portola High more testing hearing http://www.ocregister.com/articles/site-709358-soil-testing.html To me BP already comes with stigma, God forbid what happens if some staff or student is diagnosed with cancer couple of years down the line,  all hell break loose? More testing? more confusion...

Coyotes are only in Portola Springs, they are not seen throughout Irvine or south county. We lived in Irvine over 20 years, just recently moved back after being away for 5 years, never seen a coyotes in the 20 years we lived here. Also the friend that just moved to PS, have also lived in Irvine...

Ok, my initial posting is to seek info on where to purchase, Tustin or Baker Ranch because I don't think IUSD is an environment for how I want my kids to grew up in. My posting then got moved to the Parenting forum and took on a life on its own :)  love it!!  Like it was mentioned in another...

"We still haven't talked about the ridiculous the original premise is that somehow how having "too many Asians" is an issue while having a large percentage of Whites is fine. "!!!    This ridiculous original premise is what prompted all top colleges in the States to limit the number of Asian...

Indigo is in PS III, how about the soil contamination concern? also the high school near cemetery and prison (to be expanded with violent crime offenders)?  Many friends complain PS is far, minimum 30 mins (one way) to get to central Irvine, it is practically Lake Forest land. My friend was out...

When touring this condo, pay attention to the overhang board (patio covering)  out of the master bedroom window, it is unsightly, to me it looks like low income housing. I expect better material from this pricing. Vista to me is priced at the very top already, hence very slow sales or no sales...

Sorry, I thought it was already universal knowledge that the Ivies, UCs and top universities have already started reducing Asian students population, because top universities are concerned that their student body is reaching an alarming 40% Asian.  I am not sure why on this board people are...

Sorry, Asians not = Steve Woz, they work for Steve Woz. When academic success is a box Asians boxed themselves into, it is safe and it will provide for a comfortable life. This mentally will never produce a Steve Jobs.

Is Tustin better than Baker Ranch? Went to Helena today, all Asians again, not impressed. I moved to Irvine over a year ago, I don't think I have seen more than 30 Caucasians. There is only one white boy in my son's 1st grade, I don't want my kids to not know that they live in America. Some of...

My kids elementary  (outside) of Irvine had a balanced diverse feel with only 25% Asian population. Now that we have moved to Irvine, I am increasingly uncomfortable with what seems to be 80% Asian student population. This environment is not diverse nor healthy for kids. I know some friends...

Did they disclose why the annual MR increase? I read that the area requires on-going toxicity monitoring & clean up, is it for that?

Besides the toxic soil, the whole BP development looks deserted to me? I went to their Chinese New Year celebration event, the whole area looks barebone, no landsacping, no trees, it just seems like the whole place will be in construction phase for a long time? Not my ideal of community, sorry...
