[quote=Anonymous]No chance unless you come up with a really compelling sob story. And I hope you won’t. We know kids with legit needs who were denied. We bought the cheapest, smallest, crappiest house just for the schools. We could have spent the same or less and had a nice house elsewhere so I feel resentful of people who choose house over school and then complain. We saw parents lie to get COSAs at our school and I have spent years fighting the urge to report them. It could be your assigned school is better than you expect. I have had friends who found their kids in “ low performing schools” and fell in love with the staff and community. I have a friend out of state who is happy with her title 1 school experience because they had extra funding and smaller class sizes. And her kids were very advanced. She felt they benefited from standing out instead of blending in. Now that my youngest is in HS, I can say that my house probably wasn’t worth it. The highly ranked schools were high pressure and my kids never felt good at anything. It wasn’t great for their confidence.[/quote]
