Which school goes with an address?
Here is the Property Nerd detail most buyers miss: BRSSD has had no elementary attendance areas since 2011. The whole district is one attendance area, and students are assigned to the closest school, by walking distance, that has room. A home next door to a school does not guarantee a seat there.
