[quote=grange9]How are children assigned to elementary schools in RSF and Carmel Valley? For example, if you live in the Roger Rowe zone, do the children still have a choice of elementary schools, like high schools, or are they confined to attending that one school? Likewise, if you live in 92130, do you have a choice of several elementary schools to choose from, or restricted to the nearest one? Thanks.[/quote]

In CV kids are generally assigned based on a boundary map. In the past, there have been oversubscribed schools where even kids within the area for that school have to attend a different school with more available space. This was generally associated with neighborhoods that were quickly developed and filled with families who generally had young students. Since most of CV is now developed, that sort of unevenness is becoming less of a problem.
