At this time any ACR on the waitlist will be reviewed again during the following review dates:
Families will be notified of the status of their ACR after each review.
NEW: Once students are accepted on an ACR, that school becomes their new home school. Students are expected to remain at their home school for the remainder of their high school tenure. No mid-year transfers will be granted beginning with the 2025-2026 school year.
The ACR process is for parent/guardians to request attendance at a neighborhood school outside of their current attendance area (this is not how to request admission at choice option schools, which require admission through a lottery). A parent/guardian may request a change to their child/children's school attendance area when special circumstances merit such a change. Approval or denial of requests will be made based upon student needs, space available in the school, the particular grade or program, impact on enrollment balance between the schools, and appropriateness of the program.
When an ACR is granted, student transportation to and from school is the responsibility of the parents/guardians.
