Nice to meet you.

I am relocating to Los Angeles for my husband's work.
I will be working in Burbank and am looking for a place to live within a 30 minute commute. ( Rent can be up to about 7k )
I have children in elementary school and kindergarten, so I am considering a place with a good school district and safety.
We also want them to attend a supplementary school, so it is difficult to find a place with good access ….
I was stationed in Los Angeles for a year before my child was born, so I have a vague idea of the area, but when it comes to school districts, I have no idea, so I refer to sites like Niche.
I am currently considering
La canada, South Pasadena, San Marino, Arcadia, and Encino, Shrman oaks, and Studio city west of Burbank.
As for supplementary schools, we are considering Asahi Gakuen's Santa Monica school.
I know it's really difficult because there are so many conditions …
I would appreciate any advice anyone can give me.
Thank you in advance.

The remedial school is once a week, so I don't think you need to think that much about convenience. I think it is better to give priority to the local school because daily life is more important than that. I can do my best in the remedial school because it is only once a week, but if I fail in the local school, it will be stressful.

Dear Pu New

Thank you very much. It is true that the supplementary school is only once a week. … If the local school is preferred, it seems to be very difficult to choose a school district. I wonder what criteria everyone is using to make their choice ?.

If private school is not an option, but mid-career enrollment is not possible, public school districts would still be La canada, South Pasadena, and San Marino, but racially, LaCanada is quite mixed and may be easier to blend in. There are few rentals in these areas, and it is difficult to find a place that fits your budget. San Marino is almost exclusively Asian, with the overwhelming majority of Chinese among them. If you are not concerned about race, these areas are relatively safe in the vicinity of LA. The Japanese school is only open once a week, though, so I would suggest that you don't prioritize that convenience.

I decided on the school district based on the score. I know it's not just the score, but I avoided it because I believe that if the score is low, there must be a reason for it after all. I also avoided remote areas because I get frustrated if it is too inconvenient for daily life. My friend lives in a great residential area in a very high scoring school district, but she says it's too far to the supermarket, and all the remedial schools and lessons are too far away, so gas prices and stress are maxed out.

I live in Culver City with my family and the schools are very good and the living conditions are wonderful.
I go to Asahi in Torrance for remedial school, but it's only once a week, so I wouldn't say I'm stressed.
