[quote=Anonymous]I live in SF and have a DD in public elementary school. There ARE neighborhood boundaries. Had my DD gone to the neighborhood school she'd have been the only white girl in her class. The lottery system has recently been re-vamped. In the old system, we had seven choices (we got my first choice). Had I not requested any schools, DD would have been put in the neighborhood school. Instead, we leave at 7am to get to school at 7:50. Now they've scrapped that old lottery system, and certain elementary schools feed into certain middle schools. We live by the SF Bay. Her feeder middle school is by the Pacific Ocean - so basically could not be farther away while still being in the city. She's not going there. I am applying her to other schools that are closer, smaller, and (I think) a better fit academically. I do know of a lot of people who moved out of the city for school, but also know many people who are happy with the public schools their kids are in. [/quote]
