The district is known for every school. IB and Public Waldorf are checked against the International Baccalaureate’s directory and the Alliance for Public Waldorf Education’s member list.
These schools take students by address, so the district is the filter that matters.
These come from each charter’s own website. We have read 6 of the 7 charters here. A school we have not read is never counted as a “no”.
We hold no program detail for magnets yet, only how they admit.
22 of the 34 public schools here take students by address. 7 are charters and 5 are magnets or schools of choice.
22 schools take students by address. Your home address decides which one your child is assigned to. Ask the district which school serves your street.
The next date is Jan 29, 2027, at Ocean Charter, WISH Community and WISH Academy High. 5 of the 7 charters here have a coming date on their own site. A charter takes students from any address; you apply to each one.
