We've talked a lot on the show about school choice. But it's not often we discuss intra-district choice - choice between schools in the same district.
Starting in 2012, Los Angeles' Zones of Choice program creates small local markets with High Schools in neighborhoods throuhgout LA, but leaves traditional attendance-zone boundaries in place. In application, this means that about 30-40% of LAUSD is a Zone of Choice.
Here to discuss the success of LA's Zones of Choice program is http://www.cqcampos.com/ (Christopher Campos) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Deasy_(educator)#:~:text=John%20Edward%20Deasy%20(%2F%CB%88d,2018%20to%20June%2015%2C%202020. (John Deasy).
