*She rides the train there
*She rides the train there
Ok well maybe it's not that helpful. I searched google maps for all-girls schools in the area of northeastern Setagaya or Shibuya or surrounding wards near that area with train stops nearby, and there seemed to be quite a few... I might not have been using the right search terms as well... and it's supposed to be a fictional place and all. All of this speculation is based on the possibly faulty assumption that settings in the show had real-life equivalents or models

BUT STILL it might have been modeled after a place such as [http://hs.jissen.ac.jp/ jissenjoshi gakuen]. It looks like such a nice place... It's a middle and high school, it's near yamanote line, and there are two university campuses pretty much bordering it...

'''EDIT:''' Ok the actual neighborhood the train station is in is called '''Miyasaka'''. It looks pretty familiar in Google maps walkabout mode. It only has 3 cho though, and Lain's address was in 5 chome i think. Whatev, i'm going to bed.

Yeah so uh, just ignore all that stuff up there. To sum up, the only real revelations I've gotten are:
# Lain's school is called Ouka Gakuen, it's an all-girl school
# There's an Ouyu Gakuen in Setagaya, it's an all-girl school
# That general area of Setagaya looks kind of like Lain's neighborhood sometimes
Nothing more can really be concluded tbh.

I think you're discounting your findings too quickly; names and addresses are going to be fudged, and I think it's highly likely they would pick a chome high enough that it doesn't really exist. That's got to be her school. Also, she takes the train to school, doesn't she? So she will likely live in a neighborhood that is not immediately adjacent.
