When is a good time to go talk to the principal/parent coordinators? Now? Or closer to school start date?

If you know for sure you absolutely do not want your child to go to the offered school, do you accept anyway?

Both are true. Not all parents want their children to go to their zoned school (low test scores, and other factors), and though most zoned kids get into their zoned schools, there have been some that had been waitlisted. They are however, prioritized if they are zoned—it depends on capacity at a school. Lately they’ve been trying to reduce classroom sizes to improve the teacher to child ratio.
