Parkland/Coral Springs

Hi! My husband and I are moving to south Florida with our two young children due to a new job in Boca. We looked at houses in the Coral Springs/Parkland area and since we have children we're looking for opinions on the public schools. Is there a preference to Coral Springs Vs. Parkland public schools? Also wondering how their zoned since one house we looked at in Coral, the current owner said their kids went to MSD. Is it a choice or are you zoned into one? This may be a crazy thing to ask on Reddit but I feel as if people are very honest here. Looking for the good/bad/ugly. Thank you!! Also want to add, I am aware of the tragedy that happened at MSD in 2018 so I know that may factor in to your answers.
