The Boston public schools don't operate on the principle that you go to your local school. Kids get sent to quasi-random schools so that you don't have the good school in the rich neighborhood and the bad school in the poor neighborhood. Instead you get a whole bunch of medium quality schools. Also, this means that children are very likely to not live near their school at all.
