[quote=XBoxBoy] . . . Having said that, from what I know, LJHS is currently underenrolled so it’s unlikely that this border area will be kicked out of the LJHS district any time soon. But you never know.

Yeah, this was my thinking, too, XBoxBoy. I think since the recent RE “bubble,” that LJ SFR’s became too expensive for families to purchase and thus its current homeowner base currently primarily consists of older adults and seniors, whose kids and grandkids are long gone. Back when there were more kids living in LJ (=>15 years ago – enough to fill LJ High and also allow the required percentage of magnet and/or VEEP enrollments in) the resident-HS students in the northern annexation were required to attend their home school of UC High. The current “Optional Enrollment” program is open in Scarlett’s area of interest ONLY because LJ High is currently underenrolled. This could change if the required magnet/VEEP percentage for LJHS is increased or more HS age children moved into the “guaranteed” attendance area in the future.
But I am not the “horse’s mouth” on this issue, whom Scarlett should speak to. Her situation, IIRC, is that her children are VERY young and would not be attending HS for perhaps 8-10 years. Thus, she can’t enroll them in HS until the spring before they begin their 9th grade year.
