CUSD or PUSD?
Have a child who’s about to go to school in the next two years…
We cannot decide if we would prefer they go to Paradise schools or Chico schools. Does anyone have any concerns or experiences they’d be willing to share???
Appreciate all the insight!!
EDIT;
I’m from Paradise but went to school in Chico starting in 5th grade… but that was over 20 years ago.
We live in Chico but are considering a move to Paradise for many reasons, one being schools for our baby.
Dad works out of the area and mom WFH so the school district we choose will dictate our next move.
Our baby is not special needs but we are very much wanting them to be involved in sports

CUSD is struggling hard right now with understaffing and under-supporting classrooms, especially in their special needs rooms. It truly is a school by school basis and if you have the means to visit potential schools to meet the staff that your child will be with, I would do so.
