<p>“I don’t know where any “open enrollment” public schools are. In Calif and here in Alabama, a kid has to attend where he lives. The “white” schools in Cal and AL certainly do have below average kids.”</p>
<p>This is not true for many parts of Ca. My teenagers, for example, went to their local school for only their first 2 or 3 years. Since then, my kids enrolled in other schools in or out of our district. My D is currently enrolled in a neighboring district.</p>
