My wife and I are considering both buying a house in San Francisco and starting a family. The combination of these things makes it necessary to discuss school districts (between that and mortgages, I think I’m officially an adult at 29). Apparently there is some complicated lottery system for what school your child will attend such that your kid will not likely attend the school near your house, but may have to attend a school clear on the other side of the city. But all of my google-fu can’t pull up any more information than that.
So, anyone been through this lately in San Francisco that can tell me how this thing works?
