Buyers often focus on a particular schools boundaries in their home search. Sometimes their children are already in a particular school or perhaps they have heard good things about a particular school. For the past ten years or so the Colony District has been the most popular.
I happen to live in the Colony District but chose Palmer High School for our one daughter who attends public school because it has an International Baccalaureate Program. We teach our other children at home.
I am usually a little uncomfortable to tell someone that a home is in their desired school district because these boundaries can change. Couple that with the fact that new district boundaries were historically hard to determine. You had to get a hard copy of the new map after the boundaries were changed.
Thankfully, the Mat-Su School District has put these boundaries on web. All the boundary maps are listed here. Please remember that these boundaries can change with shifts of population or when a new school is built.

About the only way to curb it from happening (getting re-zoned and not being in the district you want) is to move RIGHT by the school. I lived a half block away from my elementary school growing up and there’s no way that they would have re-zoned us.
