School Choice in D60

  • The School Choice application window for
    the 2023-24 school year
    has ended.

    Schools will continue to monitor their available seats through the first few
    of weeks of the 2023-24 school year.  If they have a seat open for a
    wait-listed student, schools will contact the parent directly with an offer


    School Choice for 2023-24 opened in mid-January and more than 1,600 students
    have already secured seats at new schools. 
    Many D60 schools still have seats
    available in some grades, so it still may be possible for parents to enroll students
    at a new school that they prefer at this late date.
     

     

    As with the lottery, students on wait lists are ranked by impartially assigned preference weights and then by random numbers. The wait list is not chronological, and does not operate on a first-come, first-served basis, but the sooner you apply, the more opportunity you will have to receive an offer from a school that you would prefer.

    What is school choice?

    For the past 25 years, parents in Colorado have had the option of enrolling their child in the public school of their choosing, granted that there is room for their child to enroll at a school they prefer.
