DPS provides for enrollment outside of students' neighborhood schools. Choice forms are available at all schools, and forms may be returned to any school for central processing. A lottery is conducted if there are more applicants than space available in a school.

Students are enrolled during this second round of the Choice process on a first-come, first-served basis. Note - transportation is not provided through the Choice process.

DPS also offers charter schools and other choices such as the Rocky Mountain School of Expeditionary Learning and online education. Charter schools manage their own applications.
