Round 2 for the Denver Public Schools (DPS) 2024-25 SchoolChoice window begins in late March and is open to families who missed Round 1, took part in Round 1 but want to re-explore their options or are new to DPS for next school year.
To participate in SchoolChoice, families submit one SchoolChoice application per student, on which they rank their top schools in order of preference, up to a limit of 12. DPS then uses a computer algorithm that matches students to schools based on those preferences, as well as school admission priorities and available space. Please visit the DPS SchoolChoice website to understand your enrollment options. The Office of Choice and Enrollment Services can also be reached at 720-423-3493. Students who do not reside in Denver or currently attend a DPS school are encouraged to look for open spots in other schools at this time.
If you have recently moved within the Northfield boundary (see boundary information below), your student may be eligible to enroll for this academic school year. For Northfield-specific questions, you can submit your question at any time via the Northfield questions form, or call the Main Office at 720-423-8000, Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. Otherwise, all other questions, including those related to waitlist, sibling preference, etc. should be directed to the DPS Choice Office.
The following information is used to prioritize applicants for boundary schools during the Round One SchoolChoice student assignment process, as approved by the DPS Board of Education.
Applicants for grades 9-12 are prioritized in the following way:
On June 12, 2014, the Board of Education approved the Northfield High School boundary. The approved boundary includes the Central Park elementary school boundary and East Park Hill. All students who live within this boundary are guaranteed admission to the school, should they want a seat. To view the boundary, please see the resolution / map. In addition, the school ensures that at least 35% of seats are available for students living outside the boundary in the Far Northeast Area of Denver. Read the DPS Strategic Regional Analysis to learn more.
Boundary students are required to submit three forms of identification indicating their address within the defined boundary. The Residency Verification Form is available to download and complete prior to registration.
