Open Enrollment: Endless Opportunities

In C-FB ISD, we have great opportunities for students. And, we know that families have options when making decisions about education choices for their children.

That is why, for the 2012-2013 school year, the Board of Trustees approved a policy to allow limited open enrollment options for families living outside C-FB ISD boundaries. By offering limited open enrollment, we will generate new revenue for the school district for each additional open enrollment student accepted.

For years, we have heard from families living near the Carrollton-Farmers Branch School District expressing interest in attending our schools because of our outstanding teachers and staff, quality programs, and well-designed facilities. Families who live in two areas outside our district now have the opportunity to choose C-FB ISD for their children through the limited open enrollment option.

Our limited open enrollment program will be open to two areas as outlined below.  Families in these two areas should visit our district's website (www.cfbisd.edu/open) for an online application and more details. Families have until June 15 to complete the application process.

 

Area 1:

Veteran's Day Celebration

The cities of Coppell and Valley Ranch west of the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD boundaries, south of Sandy Lake Road, east of Denton Tap/Beltline Road North, and north of Interstate 635.

Students living in Area 1 who are entering grades kindergarten through grade 9 in fall 2012 may make an application for open enrollment to the following schools:

• Riverchase Elementary School: kindergarten through grade 5
• Barbara Bush Middle School: grades 6 through grade 8
• Ranchview High School: grade 9

For families who are interested in visiting any of the six schools involved in the limited open enrollment program, we will have the six buildings open on the same evening.  Families are encouraged to stop by and see our facilities and meet the outstanding teams who work daily with our students. 

C-FB ISD is a bright spot in public education.  From our dual language program at Janie Stark, orchestra at Barbara Bush and Vivian Field Middle Schools, to our International Baccalaureate  program at Barbara Bush and Ranchview - these C-FB schools offer endless opportunities to students outside our district boundaries. In C-FB ISD, we are committed to high achievement for all students in academics, athletics and fine arts.

Our clarity of purpose as well as enthusiasm and commitment to our students makes us the right choice for many families. I believe that is why now is an excellent time for us to offer limited enrollment to certain neighborhoods near our district boundaries.

It is the right time because this process is a win-win providing C-FB ISD additional revenue as well as drawing new families and students who believe as we do about learning.  People know Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD is a public school system where high achievement is for all students.
