School Options

Life is not a one-size-fits-all journey, and neither is school for our students. That’s why KUSD offers families a variety of boundary, choice, and charter schools to meet the needs of all learners in grades 4K-12. Each student in KUSD is assigned to a school based on the boundary in which they live. However, every student has the option to attend other schools by choice.

What’s the difference between boundary and choice and charter schools?

• Boundary schools are assigned based on a student’s home address – find yours using the boundary school locator tool.
• Choice and Charter schools are KUSD schools other than a student’s boundary school to which families may apply to attend.

BOUNDARY SCHOOLS
Families who plan to attend their assigned boundary school should complete the annual registration process. Registration for boundary schools opens mid-February each year.

CHOICE & CHARTER SCHOOLS
The district will email choice and charter school applications to families on Monday, Nov. 25, 2024. The deadline to apply is Friday, Dec. 6, at noon. Choice/charter schools will review applications or run their lotteries, notifying families of selections before winter break. Families must accept or decline by Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2025.
