Thanks for sharing the info rshanbhag. At least it’s more clear to me now how the lottery was done.
From the numbers, there are probably less people in CFD 15 so that’s probably why everyone in that district got in. I’m guessing that as 4S is fully built out now (with about 4k? in homes and no more new construction) there were probably more people in the lottery like you say vs. none in Del Sur due to allocation of spots.
It’s hard to say what will it be like 5 years from now. I do believe 5 years ago, no school around PUSD had a lottery so they even allowed NON-MR residents in all the neighborhood schools.
That has obviously changed now.
I don’t know, but wonder if Del Sur Elementary is pretty full already since I’ve heard that people would rather go to that then Design39 since Del Sur Elementary is regularly (constantly) advertised as the “BEST” school in the PUSD (from test scores I believe). I doubt it makes that much difference for the kids, but I see the ads all the time in the newspaper.
I guess another option is to wait for the next housing development without the power lines…I see something called Descanso is coming this Summer 2014 so you might want to look into that as well.
