Open Enrollment and School Capacity

Welcoming families to our community

Open enrollment

Resident enrollment is attending the local school assigned to a family's home address. Children enrolled in the local school assigned to their residence attend through regular enrollment. Schools must ensure there is enough classroom space for these students.

Open enrollment allows students who live:

  • Within a school district to go to a different school outside their home, or resident, attendance boundaries.

  • Outside the school district to go to a school in the district.

Open enrollment allows families to apply for admission to any public school in the state as long as there is classroom space available. Parents choose to open-enroll their child in another school or school district for many reasons, such as unique program offerings, teaching philosophy, extracurricular activities, or a closer proximity to work. Regardless of the reason, open enrollment is an option for parents if there is space.

The RSD Success Academy is currently at capacity and closed to Open Enrollment students. Students who have been expelled will not be permitted to enroll.
