Which would be the best week? Aug 10-14 or 17-21

We have never been to Disneyland during the summer months. I am ready to get my fastpasses in the morning and use them during the busy evenings.
But I am really worried about the So Cal annual pass holders being unblocked starting August 16th.

Would it be better to go August 10th-14th or better August 17th-21st? Or does it not matter because it is summer at Disneyland and it is crowded no matter what?

even though the socal passes are unblocked do you know when they go back to school? That could impact some of the crowds, and may be why they are unblocked? I know that week of the 16th the hotel rates start to drop like crazy. I know most socals won't use the hotels but the prices really are low. We are going the 11-15th cause our schools up here start on Monday the 17th boohoo I wish I could take advantage of the low hotel rates even if there are still summer crowds but either way it's still summer somewhere so I suppose the crowds will still be there LOL

DH and I are going Aug 10-15 but if we had the choice [school interferes] we'd be going the week of Aug 17th. Hotel prices drop and a lot of kids are in school by then.

School starts August 25th for my kids so I suppose I should take the 2nd week.

I'm going to hope most of the locals have started back to school.

It looks like Orange County school start August 24th. LA school district starts in September.
I wish I could see the future.
