[quote=Rhett]Since this has been deleted, does anybody remember which Scripps Ranch schools were being discussed?

Yes, Rhett, that was the case. What is the big deal, anyway … especially for a KINDERGARTENER?
I know of more than a dozen SDUSD students currently residing in PH (92139) who are attending SR schools on VEEP and magnet transfers. It is a 45-min bus ride for them one-way, barring any freeway mishaps. This is just a small microcosm of my own acquaintances residing in only ONE zip code. This will never change. The OP should have purchased or rented a residence in his/her desired school attendance area from the get go. It is ridiculous to come back three years later and cry wolf when they were (predictably) not granted their CHOICE transfer application that they undoubtedly thought their child would be entitled to.
That’s not the way the “system” works and never was. All agents working within SDUSD are well aware of this (or should be). If they don’t or are failing to advise their clients as such when they KNOW that school attendance area is their client’s top criteria for choosing a residence, then they are doing them a disservice if they are not discussing the chances of their children qualifying for a VEEP or magnet transfer PRIOR to making their offer.
IIRC, don’t you and Scarlett live in UC where your kid(s) attend public school? And are you still searching to buy a residence for your family?
Just wondering, Rhett. It’s been a long time for you guys.
