Ha, It's like when we lived in Brooklyn and people would refer to the City or New York City. If you lived or worked in Manhattan, the City meant Manhattan. If you lived in Long Island or New Jersey anywhere in the 5 boroughs was the City. I grew up in the Central Valley, and this area was referred to as the Bay Area. Hence, San Jose is South Bay.
It's not that enrollment is over, so much that their programs are full and probably have a waiting list. If the program wasn't full, I am sure they would still accept an intraDistrict transfer or school of choice.
The school District I was refering to is San Jose Unified and it is huge. The schools in the south (expensive areas) are rated 10s moving up to the downtown area where a couple of the schools rate a 4.
