SCHOOL PLACEMENT
Every attempt will be made to place new students at their school of residence. However, due to enrollment levels at certain school sites and grade levels, some families may be assigned to a school other than their school of residence. Therefore, please make every effort to complete your enrollment process early. If your child is overflowed to another school in the District, staff will keep your child on a waitlist and call you if space becomes available.
Actual school placement, while taking the enrollment date into consideration, is dependent on the following criteria:
- Siblings of currently enrolled students residing in the District are considered residents of the sibling's school and will be enrolled in that school if they wish and if there is space. The currently enrolled sibling must be in attendance at the school when the new enrollee enters the school
- Facility capacity and class size
- Identified special education and special program needs
- Balance of class size across the District
RETURNING OVERFLOW PROCESS
LASD makes an effort to return overflowed students to their home school when space becomes available. District staff will keep track of the students overflowed and can update parents on the waitlist upon request. To ensure classroom stability, we do not call students back from overflow after October 31.
