Generally speaking, children can go to school nearby if they buy a placement house. In principle, children should go to school in the place where their registered permanent residence is located, or in the place where their parents or legal guardians work or live. The local people's government should provide them with equal access to compulsory education. In addition, the person in charge of the corresponding school where the property is located or the relevant personnel of the local education department should be consulted in advance to see if they agree to accept the children of the party concerned, and the reply of the other party shall prevail.
 Legal basis
 Article 12 of the Compulsory Education Law of the People's Republic of China, school-age children and adolescents are exempted from entrance examination. The local people's governments at various levels shall ensure that school-age children and adolescents are enrolled in schools near their registered permanent residence. If school-age children and adolescents whose parents or other legal guardians work or live in places other than their registered permanent residence receive compulsory education in the places where their parents or other legal guardians work or live, the local people's government shall provide them with equal conditions for receiving compulsory education. Specific measures shall be formulated by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government. The education administrative departments of the people's governments at the county level shall guarantee that the children of servicemen in their respective administrative areas receive compulsory education.
