The communities of Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Sabre Springs, 4S Ranch, Del Sur, Santaluz, Santa Fe Valley, and Torrey Highlands share an important asset – the Poway Unified School District with its award winning schools.

With five high schools, six middle schools (grades 6 to 8), twenty-three elementary schools (K-5), and more on the way, the Poway Unified School District has grown by leaps and bounds to keep pace with the astounding growth along the North Inland I-15 corridor over the past several years. But the number of schools is not the real story. It’s the reputation and quality of the school programs, teachers, staff, community involvement, and volunteer support that contribute to the value to the communities.

Home buyers are interested in the quality of their schools and, when looking for a home, a major consideration is often to keep their students in these same schools.

There is a wealth of information about the Poway Unified Schools in the District website at www.powayusd.com. School boundaries often adjust to changing patterns, and the latest information is available at www.powayusd.com/news/boundary.html. Also, you can look up any home address at www.powayusd.com/admin/bss/planning/addresslookup.asp.
