Looks like you're in great hands, audegruau.

Along with what healthy11 linked you to, here's a district map of Huntington Beach elementary schools: www.hbcsd.k12.ca.us/upload_file/PlanJ.pdf (that's just the K-8 district). The high school boundaries can be found here: www.hbuhsd.org/dsp.page_content.cfm?pid=18

As you look for the schools with the higher ratings, you can start focusing on specific neighborhoods and Corinne can help you point you to better neighborhoods from her time there.

I spend quite a bit of time in Fountain Valley and Huntington Beach, and I'm a pro at getting from there to Disneyland, so ask away and we'll see what we can do for you.

Are you planning on renting first and then buying a place, or are you already working with a realtor? They're great at pinpointing neighborhoods with phenomenal schools, as well.

Here is Greatschool's list of all schools in the Huntington Beach area: www.greatschools.net/california/huntington-beach/schools/
The public schools are rated from 1 (low) to 10 (highest) based upon how their students perform on annual testing compared to other students in California. You can click on the names of individual schools to find out more details about them.

Your 8-year-old and 10-year-old will be in Elementary School (usually kindergarten through 6th grade is considered Elementary, in the U.S.) while your 13-year-old will probably be in Middle School (7th & 8th grades) and your 15-year-old will be in High School (9th through 12th grades.)

hello, for the moment I only know the place where will be my husband company at Huntington beach.
we don't know were is the best place to leave with the children.
I prefer to chose the school first, and the house will depend where the school is located. It's for that I need some information about the best public school in this area for my 4 children, 15 years old, 13 years old, 10 years old,and 8 years old.
They will have some difficulties to understand in a first time it's for that I hesitated with the school ( french school or not)
what is the best solution for them and for us because the french school are very expansive, and I want to offer them the best solution for their integration

And Huntington Beach, which is in Orange County, or Huntington Park which is just south of downtown?

I'm north of both of them in the San Fernando Valley, but I can likely help with your school question.

Welcome!

Bonjour! I saw you posted another short question that said you were moving to Huntington; I'm not sure what your specific concerns are, but if you see this and can give us additional background information, we will be happy to try and help you.

In general, for students enrolling in the public schools in the U.S., the parents will need to show the children's birth certificates, proof of current immunization records, and proof of residency (something that shows the address where you will be living.)
