We have a large family. 6 kids. 5 girls that range in age from 18 to 10 and a son who is 2 1/2. We need to find an area that would have good family communities. It would be great if they had a nice age range too. Not one with mostly little kids but middle school and high schoolers too. Good schools. Variety of activities for them to do, etc.

My husband can work from home so we aren't too worried about the commute to places of employment on a daily basis.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I prefer the city of Menifee because it isn't as ritzy as Temecula is. However, the high school isn't great. I went there my senior year. There were lots of racial issues. The education wasn't good at all. I mean, my honors Spanish teacher knew less Spanish than I did, and her accent was terrible. I'm white by the way. Also, it's in the Perris district, and the school district gives all the money to Perris High School. Oh yeah, many kids are bussed in from Perris. I don't want to generalize, but I rode on the bus that those kids did because I lived in Sun City. It was not a good environment at all, and I come from Garden Grove where people were getting shot at at school and such things. It isn't the worst school in the world, but it isn't great either.
