Choice Enrollment
"Open Enrollment” is the option for Colorado students to enroll in a public school other than their assigned “neighborhood school.”Students may open enroll into any public school as long as certain criteria are met. Most schools that do not have room for more students will have a waiting list. When there is room for more students, schools will either accept students on a first-come-first-served basis or hold a lottery to determine which students may enroll in the school. Check with individual schools for details.
Open enrollment applications are for enrollment into a school for the next school year. School districts, and some individual schools, set their own time schedule for accepting open enrollment applications. Many school districts have open enrollment deadlines in December, January, and February, so be sure to plan ahead. Most charter and option schools have different application guidelines and timelines than the local school district. Check with individual charter and option schools to learn about their application process.
