Enrollment
Welcome to the DCSD Family!
Excellence meets opportunity in DCSD. We're not just the third-largest school district in Colorado; we're a community dedicated to helping every student discover their unique talents and reach their full potential.
Something for Everyone
With 92 schools spread across the 850 square miles of our nationally renowned county, we have options galore. Whether you're looking for a comprehensive neighborhood school, a charter school with specialized curriculum, or support for students with special needs, we've got you covered.
Our schools
- An ADDRESS ASSIGNED NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL means a public, non-charter school, where you are guaranteed placement because you live in that school's attendance zone.
- A public, non-charter NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL that is outside of your attendance zone can be requested, but enrollment is not guaranteed.
- A public CHARTER SCHOOL is a school where there are no guaranteed placements due to attendance zones, are open to anyone to apply, and have their own enrollment guidelines and processes.

Benefits of Enrollment
If your child is of school-age and is not currently attending school, please enroll them as soon as possible. Enrolling, attending, and being engaged in school is so important for children so they may reap the social benefits of connecting with their peers, and avoid the negative consequences associated with learning loss.
Learning loss, particularly for our highest-needs populations such as students with disabilities, low-income students, English language learners, and students experiencing homelessness or in foster care, can have implications for years to come. In addition, without a connection to school, students may not be able to access school support personnel, like mental health professionals, who can help them address the trauma they have may have faced as a result of the recent pandemic and in their personal lives.
