Applications submitted by anyone other than a legal guardian may be deleted.

If your student receives an offer from any school, they will be removed from all other waitlists and will no longer be eligible for another placement for the 2026-27 school year, regardless of whether you accept or decline the placement.
Apply only to schools from which you would accept an offer.
Rank school/district selections by preference, since the placement protocol assigns offers based on choice order.
Most placement priorities apply only to your first-choice selection.
Every year, we have more applicants than available seats. Submitting an application does not guarantee a placement offer. Families who do not receive a placement offer and are still interested in a choice program must reapply each year.
Follow these steps to submit your application.
Create a RSCO account or log in to your existing account if you are a returning applicant.
