It’s Open Enrollment Time

Open enrollment dates have been set by area schools in preparation for the 2027-2028 school year. We’ve compiled a list of our area schools along with their open enrollment dates to make planning easier. 

Each school district and charter school within the state is required to submit enrollment numbers to the Arizona Department of Education on Oct. 1 of every school year. (Note: The Oct. 1, 2026 reports were not ready as of press time. The ADE has set Dec. 1 as its release date.)

Arizona state laws regarding open enrollment allows students the opportunity to request admission to any public school, regardless of location, based on available classroom space at a particular school.
