san fernando and schools

9 years ago
I was hoping to tap into the expertise on here. I am in the running for a healthcare job in san fernando and have 3 children.
11,9, and 4. my biggest concern is schools, are public schools good??, or do i need to go private? As with the cost of tuition for 3 may make it not reasonable for 5 of us to live on one salary.

That leads to another question for a family of 5 to live in san fernando and live on one salary what should the base salary i be looking for be?. i know so subjective but a fairly modest lifestyle, food, bills, one car, some beach trips on the weekend , 3 bedroom house etc.

any input appreciated

thanks

p.s are there any french schools??, as my kids in french immersion here, long shot but worth asking
