A secondary school dilemma - decisions decisions

My partner and I have been together for almost 4 years. We have an 18 month old. We do not live together as there were problems with his kids vs my daughter who has GDD and social problems. The thing is he has been expecting us to move in with him, he has a 23yr old still living with him, he moved back in with him about 5 yrs ago. Anyways we are having to decide what secondary school to send my daughter to, and the school wants a decision soon as. I took him to a meeting so he can get an insight into the process, and when we went home we discussed it. I said what if his area is not an option where do we go. His answer was what if it does not work in my area, will i try a few others or just home school her. Needless to say it became a closed subject. I was wondering if he was being sarcastic and he said he was not, in fact he was just making suggestions. The school has spoken to her and she was distressed about the option of the one in his area. I am dreading this conversation with him. I told him we could commute her to school - trying to meet him halfway. He was not keen. For years I have been asking him to show me the area so my daughter could have met up with other kids by now. When we did go for weekends, my daughter was bored as no one to play with. Also asked him to go with her to meet his neighbors - but never happened. I am thinking he is rather selfish - as yesterday his daughter phoned him for a lift and he said he was having his tea, which was not ready yet. Would have only taken him like 5-10 minutes.
