How does school choice work?

399 views

If school choice (US here) became the norm and people could choose where they wanted to go, vs the current standard of attendance being based on where you live, how would that work? Basically, if everyone wants school X, and obviously school X can’t accommodate everyone, how will it work? Obviously not everyone would choose X; some want Y for location, others want Z for certain programs, but in general..?

There’s a lottery system in place for schools that get too many students who want it. This lottery is usually skewed to prevent lower scoring students from getting in if there’s no regulation and checks to stop it.
