Will the Asian numbers go up? Those stats are for when OH was a 5-8 school with a bigger boundary draw. Now it's a K-8 school with a narrow OH demo.
Another good point for me to think about. My kids are lower grade side.. Thank you!
Good to hear from you! How was the remodeling?

Also, I don't like closed floor plan, especially my wife or myself cannot visually check our kids in living room area if we are in the kitchen. So I prefer open floor plan and newer houses. Another thing is, even we are fresh out from our home country, Korea, I feel it is not the best experience to live with asian dominating communities, like CV, Stonegate. I checked the demographics of Orchard hills school and Peters canyon elementary school, it is like asian 30%, white 30%. I am going to check out Padova in orchard hills. Wish me luck..
Your number on Orchard Hills does not seem right.
OH has one of the highest Asian population of all the Irvine neighborhoods. 68.1% Asian and only 24.1% White according to the link below.

Thank you for correcting me. I was talking about the elementary school. But I was wrong anyway...Asian 51%, white 32%. Well, I should ask to somebody who actually has kids going to Orchard hills school..

The middle school draws from the old wider catchment area.
Beckman high school is more diverse with approximately 1/3, 1/3 and 1/3 split of the three major demographic groups in OC.

Hi, OP here. We ended buying in Turtle Rock.
joke4real said:Hey. Just got into this post and read it through. Seems that the author is not around recently, but I wish to know how this story ended because I've been having quite similar issues and criteria on choosing house. Started from Cypress village, I've looked into all most all of communities in Irvine..I even tried Ladera Ranch and Esencia. Recently, I almost concluded that I should narrow down my searching area - Orchard hills with TUSD or gated communities in Peters canyon elementary school range El Dorado or Emerson.
