For example, IF the Laguna Altura kids are the smart ones and thus partly contribute to making Uni High topnotch. If they all move to the Great Park high school, I would assume they will help make the GPHS also a top notch school (and not the GPHS making them "dumber") ? Unless of course one HS have much better facilities, teachers and environment than the others (which I don't think is the case)

Don't parents like the newer high schools with better tech and facilities? Isn't that one of the reasons why parents like Northwood High, because it is the "newest" of all HS's in irvine?

I agree. I think new HS (5) will be actually better then many people think it would be with a large investment in the new tech. and facilities. Asians love new houses and new schools. Also, with $ million dollar houses (GP homes) surrounding the HS, the $ investment, students and parents will push the school to be in the top tier.

I agree with this. I think the whole high school thing is overblown. I'm sure there are parents who REALLY care and will only buy a home in certain areas based on zoning but in general, IUSD is sufficient for most. I'm not seeing a lot of pushback on the folks plopping down $1.5M for La Cresta - zoned for Woodbury Elem and Irvine HS (both "subpar" in the eyes of some to SG Elem and Northwood High) when if they REALLY cared about schools, they could have bought over at Sausalito.
What if UHS principal goes to start a new HS and takes some of the staff along. Who would have a proven record?iacrenter said:NW High and Uni High have a proven track record and the future 5th high school is a big unknown.
