Allan, that “nice poster” was positively distressed that their 4-5 yr old’s CHOICE application was turned down for a spot in one SR elem school when their child’s attendance area was actually within a neighboring elem school. The OP stated they purchased their “dream home” in SR in 2010 and asked here about the viability of “renting a room” in a residence of a home in the preferred school’s attendance area so their kid could get into the preferred school!
One has to wonder if the OP was ever advised by their agent at the time of their offer that CHOICE applications are given less priority than VEEP and magnet applications and that SR schools have historically heavily accepted a large contingent of both VEEP and magnet students.
This is just another case of extremely unrealistic expectations on the part of a homebuyer and also demonstrates the consequences of buying where you really don’t want to live but instead buying for the sake of buying when you could have continued to make offers or rent (both attendance areas having properties of equal or nearly equal value).
