SchoolChoice Round 2

Round 2 of SchoolChoice is for:

• Families who did not take part in Round 1 and would like to change their student’s school.
• Families who have changed their minds since submitting a Round 1 application. If you are happy with your school placement following Round 1, you do not need to take part in Round 2.
• Families who are new to DPS.
• Please note: If your student was waitlisted at a school in Round 1, do not submit a Round 2 application to the same school, as your student already has a spot on the school’s waitlist.

Sign into your SchoolChoice account  and apply to your preferred schools. If you don’t have an account, you can create one using your email address or a current Parent Portal log-in. You can also call the Choice Hotline at 720-423-3493 for assistance with submitting a Round 2 application.

Round 2 for the 2023-24 school year will close in late August.

There is no lottery in Round 2, but priorities are given. Round 2 applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis, within school priority groups. Once the application is submitted, your student will be placed on a waitlist for the school(s) on the submitted application. If the school has available space, your student will receive a seat offer at which time you will have 48 hours to accept or decline the seat. If a waitlist exists, your student will be added to the list in date and time order within your given priority.

Please note: Waitlists are dynamic, meaning your waitlist positions can move up or down based on the actions and priorities of all other applicants, both from Round 1 and Round 2. Read more about how waitlists work.

If your student is accepted to a school in Round 2, any Round 1 school assignment is relinquished. You will remain on waitlists for any higher-ranked schools.

Your student is eligible for mid-year entry:

• If you are new to Denver, or your Denver address has changed, locate your neighborhood school. To enroll in your new neighborhood school, please bring proof of address, proof of age of the student and the student’s immunization record to the school’s front desk; for high school students, also provide transcripts for grades 9-12. Call the school for more details.
• If you are new to Denver, or your Denver address has changed, and you would like to attend a school other than your neighborhood school, or if you reside in an enrollment zone, please complete a Mid-Year Entry application.

Contact the Office of Choice and Enrollment at 720-423-3493 with any questions or for assistance submitting your application.
