If you're planning on having children in X amount of year, or already have kids that are close to going to school, then buy into a community that already has established schools. As well, make sure they can get in. Pregnant? Ok, you have 9 months to sell and find a community with an established school.
When you make your top 10 list for a home, schools should be in the top 3. At least it was for us.
I will agree that there is a school shortage. Or at least not enough schools for all the urban sprawl. But there are plenty of communities with schools, to pick from.
Sorry. Not trying to be a jerk.
Back on topic: no PST. Thanks.

Don't think you are being a jerk.
We were renting in Evanston. Finally buying a house this year. With the low availability of suitable rentals you take what you can get with or without schools. It just doesn't make sense to me that their would be essentially no plan for schools being built in a timely manner.
I've given up on the idea of having a school within walking distance. We are buying in Mahogany which won't have schools for a while.
