Torrey Hills

Tucked into the polished, master-planned community of Carmel Valley, Torrey Hills draws families who are serious about academics without sacrificing a laid-back Southern California lifestyle — think sunny afternoons at the park after pickup from a school where kids are genuinely excelling across the board. Del Mar Union is already one of the stronger elementary districts in the county, and Torrey Hills holds its own near the top of even that competitive field, with scores in English, math, and science all sitting in the 95th–96th percentile range statewide. It's a natural fit for families relocating to the 92130 zip code who want a neighborhood school that matches the ambition of the community around it.
