Empowering Families with Choice

School Choice

At Caddo Parish Public Schools, we are committed to providing families with high-quality educational options that best suit their child's needs. Through Caddo's School Choice program, eligible students have the opportunity to enroll in a preferred public school, regardless of their residential address, school system boundaries, or attendance zones. Enrollment opportunities will be based on school capacity as outlined in the district's School Choice Plan.

The school choice application window opens on February 28th and closes on March 28th, giving families time to explore available options and submit their applications. Students may qualify for school choice if their current or most recent school received a "D" or "F" performance rating for the most recent school year.

Our goal is to ensure that every child has access to an educational environment where they can thrive. We encourage families to review their options, consider their child’s needs, and take advantage of this opportunity to find the best fit for their future.
