albany is like one of the best school districts here. it has pretty good services for autistic kids i think. albany is between berkeley and el cerrito. the only way to get your kids into the system is to live there. its really exspensive but a fantastic neighborhood to live in if you have kids.
2 :
It would probably help if you can be more specific about what you are looking for. I think different districts in this area have strengths with different kinds of programs. Do you need an intensive ABA program for a child that is one district, if you are thinking that you child needs an inclusive program with perhaps aide support that is a different district, do you want a self-contained class for a high functioning student that is a different district.. if you want him in general education with just really good teacher and support staff checking in? Remember your first 30 days in a new district bring your IEP to the school. they have to try to match his current services and placement that are on the IEP to the best of their ability while they gather information and decide whether or not to assess to determine best services and placement in the new district so make sure your paper work is in order from your previous district and this will help speed up the process.

San Francisco??

San Francisco??
I applied to school out in San Francisco, but I'm not sure its the best choice? Over-all I'm not a big fan of California. I've lived in New York City all my life, I dont want to leave but I know this will be a great opportunity. What the nightlife like? Hows the shopping? Also, how're the people? I don't have the money right now to visit, all I have to go on is the word of you guys. Thanks! =)

ITS AMAZING! i grew up there, for shopping i would say market st and fishermans warf (pier 39) I love it because in market street people have these booths which they sell really cool things :) California is kinda like new york, most places in it are really quiet at night :D good luck
2 :
California is an amazing state! It is just very expensive! I love living here!

I went to a restaurant called Asia SF. Our waitress got up on the bar in a little short skirt and danced around. Her adam's apple was bigger than her testicles.

San Francisco is wonderful. Shopping is never a problem and the nightlife is crazy, diverse, and fun. You don't have as many plays like you do in NY, but they do have a nice selection. The people are very friendly, outgoing and mostly health conscious. The weather is a big plus, no snow, but bring some warm clothes because of the fog. I would not be surprised if you like it so well, that you stay. My dad and mom were from NYC, and they never went back and stayed in California the rest of their lives. So welcome to California.
5 :
How people have describe is the lifestyle is similar to New York but the people here in SF are a lot nicer. Shopping is pretty good probably not as good as New York but still you can find what you need for most part. Not sure what school you applied to in SF, but i am guessing its USF since your willing to leave NY i dont think your going there for the State college or Art college. Nearby USF is the famous haight street which is full of culture also its a place where you can a lot of hard to find clothes and shoes. Driving here is not as bad as New York. Parking and living expenses is not as bad either. Crime rate is probably better here than in New York.

San Fran can be very pricey. But there is lots to do, however people in San Fran are very colorful. And I'm not a fan of the weather. It seems over cast a lot. http://www.san-francisco.cc/san-francisco-weather.php There are some great tours, and places to see, it's really just a matter of personal choice.

UCSF is a grad school, you need to go to college first. Haha your actually a lot like me as a freshman (I'm a senior now). I too wanted to be a doctor and I heard of UCSF and i thought it was really good. But it actually isn't a regular UC- it's a graduate school. You need to go to college for four years before that UCSF is a good place for medicine though. Just know though that you're interstes will likely change through high school- I wanted and expected to be a doctor my whole life, and after 11th grade I realized I wasn't passionate about it, and i've decided to do what I really want to do, even though I might not be making as much money (or i may idk). So don't have a plan you feel like you have to stick to- expand and explore your interests.

Santa Barbara. I've been to San Francisco a lot and it's not that clean. Santa Barbara I've been too twice and it's amazing there.

Santa Barbara is more like SD. But San Francisco has tons more opportunities for internships. And is a cooler place to live.

my boyfriend went there and said it's very, very nice! I'm 16, going on senior in high school, and I never go to new places in search of the best stores. Everyone has varying tastes... the most fun thing is window shop with your friends and go where ever something catches your eye! shopping isn't something you plan out, just spontaneous fun. although, if you want to shop for some affordable clothes just try a forever 21 in your mall or something.

Which is the best town/city to live in the San Francisco Bay area, California?

Which is the best town/city to live in the San Francisco Bay area, California?
I will be working in Santa Clara. So, I want to live near my job but willing to drive. I have kids so it's very important to me to live in a town with great public schools. Safe neighborhood. Great parks. Just a great community. What about Palo Alto vs. Cupertino? Santa Clara County?

If you are looking for a very nice city and a safe neihborhood with great schools, try Foster City in the San Mateo County. Watch the prices though! Foster City may be a little expensive, but you know your kids will be safe. The Police are great there, and the city is built in a canal just like Venice, Italy. So you can travel the whole city on a boat. The schools there are very good, and it is a clean environment. Trust me. (I live in Santa Clara! but use to live in Foster City)

I lived in Campbell & Los Gatos years ago. I miss it so much. Anyway, depending on your income, most of my family moved to Hollister. Great schools and still close to the beach. The other half of the family headed for Tracy. The Santa Clara Valley has changed like every where else with over populaion and cutting down the orchards etc. Santa Cruz Mountains are awful nice too. Good luck and stay away from Milpitas.
3 :
Orinda. It has the best schools in the state, it's very safe too. The only downside is a three bedroom house will cost you around a million dollars.
4 :
I recommand San Diego. It is such a lovely, safe and great neighborhood. Houses are expensive but it's worth it.
5 :
I've answered other questions like yours, and I will still have to say Millbrae would be the best for kids. It's about 30mins north of Santa Clara. Great public schools, very safe neighborhood, good weather, great community center (also big park w/ bbq areas) that has lots of activities for kids & adults (including summer programs).

I would say San Carlos is the best city in the bay area. Safe and quiet. Good for kids. Very expensive though. Foster City is another good city.
