[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's very school specific.  Some marching bands take everyone, ours does so its a non-issue but if its a speciality instrument like percussion there are tryouts and the teacher may or may not let your child in.  The magnets are probably a no, but your child can take the classes if they are at that school.  Or, they can take classes at community college.  You go to the school you are zoned for except the DCC like others have said but it may be to late to do that for next year.  If you can, you should try to move in late August vs. mid-school year.[/quote]

Thank you! So what I’m hearing is we might be able to pick another DCC school, but that would be dependent on space? I may give the district a call and ask. I appreciate the info![/quote]

You can see if you can request to get into another school but with multiple kids/transportation you may want to just pick a house where you want the kids to go to school instead.  It is space dependent and it's generally a "lottery" so mid-year you'd have to do a COSA (request) and most schools are overcrowded.

You will have an easier time doing things like band and sports in a "lower" income area school vs. the higher income area schools.  Our marching band is open to everyone and encouraged but the higher level music classes are test in.

What areas are you looking at? [/quote]
