School choice is important because every child is different. A one-size-fits-all approach to education always leaves someone behind; one child's ideal learning environment may be totally different from that of another child. However, we also know that school choice can feel overwhelming, so we're here to help.
Education is a deeply personal choice because of the impact it has on your family for generations to come. Our goal is to empower you to make the best decision by providing you with information, tools, and transparency to make a choice that's right for you and your child.
To help guarantee a spot at your family’s top choice, be sure to submit an application before December 11! EnrollBR’s priority application window is designed to promote enrollment equity by aligning more closely with other school choice application periods, like magnet schools.
If a school receives more applications than available space, it will run a lottery to determine which students receive an offer of enrollment. All other students who applied will remain on its waitlist and may be offered a spot if one becomes available.
Applications are accepted on a first come, first served basis. If a school still has space available after the priority application window, it will continue to accept applications on a first come, first served basis until all seats are full.
If you are still in need of a school for your child after August 1st, please visit the school of your choice for seat availability.
