Open enrollment applications will be considered based on a student’s academic performance, attendance, and disciplinary record, along with space availability at the requested schools. Space availability is determined by factors such as building capacity, program and campus enrollment, growth projections, grade-level enrollment, and teacher/professional staff allocations. Priority is given to existing RISD families who reside within district boundaries.
Out-of-district enrollment applications for the 2026-27 school year are open April 1 through midnight, July 1.
