Education
The CDP is served by Capistrano Unified School District. Students attend Tijeras Creek Elementary, Wagon Wheel Elementary, Las Flores Middle School or Tesoro High School. St. John's Episcopal School and Serra Catholic Schools are private elementary, and middle schools located outside the gates. Santa Margarita Catholic High School is located at the North Gate.
An attempt to build a 400-student public school within the walls of the community was rebuffed by the residents. The residents had concerns that it would "undermine the privacy and security" of the enclave, that it would be "downright illegal ", that it would force admission of large numbers of non-residents to the community, and that an eventual lawsuit would force the removal of the gates. The reason for proposal was that Wagon Wheel Elementary School, which is located immediately outside the community gates, had far more students than planned. The school equipment was to consist of 20 portable buildings which would have simply been added to Wagon Wheel if the new school's construction could not be completed. Had it been built, it would have become the first public school to be built inside the limits of a gated community.
