[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't SF have a citywide lotto?[/quote] Essentially. And, it leads to a much more segregated public system than DC.[/quote] I don't have any first-hand knowledge, but I do know of two families who moved out of SF when their kids reached middle-school age. Things may have changed, but the way it was described to me was that there's a citywide lottery, but it's set up so that the educational acheivement of the mother is weighted negatively. IOW, if you're mother has an advanced degree, you're significantly more likely to be sent to one of the cities worst schools.[/quote]
