Here is a C&P- the answer is no.
Every effort is made to keep this list current; however, this list is subject to change without notice.
The closed grade levels and schools listed below are for the 2009-2010 school year
and may or may not apply to the subsequent school year.
ALL SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED TO STUDENTS WHO LIVE
OUTSIDE THE IRVINE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BOUNDARIES
Please see our school maps under the "School" link for boundary information.

People skirt this issue in every city by renting within desirable district lines and claiming residency, or claiming to live with a relative, or... there are a thousand ways to skin this cat.
Many times this is for academics but I've seen it for athletics and/or special ed programs, as well.
It happens, but personally I would not encourage the practice. I have heard about it ending badly during audit season: like Russian Roulette, everything is fine until it's not. And when it's not, IS2BU.
