Stonegate Elementary Waiting List?
- Thread starter lucky760
- Start date
NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
I recently learned there are a lot of investment groups in China where they pool all their money and buy up lots of US homes with shared ownership and just let overseas strangers (here) deal with buying and managing their homes. I mean it seems obvious and makes sense, but before hearing about that I guess I'd always naturally thought it was just individuals who were investing.
Be careful what you believe. I was told by an Asian parent that Stonegate doesn't have a hot lunch program...and she had a child in the school (albeit in kindergarten, so too young to eat lunch at school). She swore up and down that all the kids had to bring their own lunch. Of course this is not true.

Soon 1/3 of the FCBs will receive the next installment of bribery their kids will be attending schools in Quail Hills.

I'm being told they can't put my 2.5 year old on the waiting list yet.....which I expected.
At least it was worth a try.
That's exactly what I did. Did they just tell you to call back a year from now?

Is there shade?
Wasn't SG the traditional calendar alternative to the year around WB school? There are a lot of WB residents going to SG. Heard that only WB kids who entered SG in 2009 are automatically in SG next academic year. Where are the other WB residents going instead of SG school?

Woodbury Elem is year-round and on a different schedule. Many people prefer the traditional schedule with the longer summer break... which is probably why SG got impacted in the first place.lnc said:
Don't know about situation regarding kids from Woodbury, but I heard from SG school administrative they're going to make PS kids go back to PS Elementary starting from school year 2015-2016 when the permanent school is built.
We were going to transfer our son back to SG this year, but were told it's full and my son would very likely be sent to PS Elementary temp site for 1 year and then move back to SG the next year. To avoid being transferred twice, we're going to keep my son at the current school for one more year and transfer him back next year because if what I heard above is true, then next year SG should have plenty of seats available.
Regarding the lottery, what I understand is they draw the lottery only to create the priority list for everyone registered before the deadline. People on the priority list is still subject to seat availability. What I told was no one on the priority list is actually guaranteed the enrollment because there is no seat available.

Isn't this an advantage for resale homes?
Sounds like buying a new home doesn't necessarily guarantee enrollment in the neighborhood school, which kills the "walkability factor".
Most older resale neighborhoods in Irvine don't have this level of closed enrollment in their schools.
Has anyone who has bought resale in pre-2005 hoods had issues with school enrollment?

I bought in a pre-2000 area but initially all my kids were placed on a waiting list, although fortunately, after about a month, all of them were let into the neighborhood school. Haven't had any issues since then. That was a few years back and I can't imagine it has gotten better since then.
