Similar forces in effect for school districts. I remember Cupertino being against additional medium density development because of concern over overcrowding of schools. Given that background I'm modestly surprised that the new Vallco redevelopment got approved.

Can't say I blame them--if you drop a massive amount of money to get into a neighborhood with the school being a large driver of that, only to be told "sorry, we're overcrowded and you're kid is going to go to this school that is known to be significantly worse" I know I'd be livid and consider whatever means necessary to fix it. While SF's random lottery system certainly has its issues, it does actually solve for some of these problems.
