>> If one wants to send their kids to a good school you HAVE to buy a single family home in that school district.
Not true. Many districts have open enrollment.
It used to be that way in our district. It didn't stop some people from claiming their kids lived with relatives and that sort of thing. It used to be limited to x amount of students but the laws changed.
It's good for the kids, but bad for the schools overall. The more 'bad kids' you get, the worse the schools get, and then the 'good kids' start going to other districts as well.
In Ohio, most schools permit open enrollment, but virtually none of the school districs surrounding the major metropolitan areas do. Coincidentally, while there are plenty of poor children in both rural and urban areas in Ohio, it is only in the metropolitan areas that there are large populations of non-white students. These students are shut out of the wealthier, whiter, better-ranked suburban school districts.
