Colorado Springs school districts are something that people ask about a lot, because there are so many of them. The big 8 are Lewis Palmer D38, Academy D20, Colorado Springs D11, Falcon D49, Harrison D2, Cheyenne Mountain D12, Widefield D3, and Fountain Fort Carson D8. In addition, there are charter schools within some of these districts that are like mini-school districts of there own. In D20, The Classical Academy has close to 3,000 students, 3 elementary schools, and a wait list of 6,000 students or so. In D49, there are 2 separate charter school systems just on the classical education theme alone (Rocky Mountain Charter Academy and the new The Imagine Classical Academy). Also in D49, the Banning-Lewis Ranch is building charter schools for neighborhood schools.
So the question can be, where will MY kids go to school. It isn't as simple as it sounds, because as neighborhoods grow, sometimes the neighborhood school is full for certain grades for a while. This has happened many times over the years, especially in D20 and Northeastern D11. It has happened in the past that a family can buy a house across the street from the school, and when they go to enroll, discover their child will be bussed to an overflow school until a space opens up. Usually this is temporary (1 school year or less), but not always. And changing schools is never fun, causing some families to leave the busing situation alone once their child is settled in.
All this to say, that no matter what school DISTRICT your are in, it is a good idea to check out what actual school your child will be attending. It may not be the one the next door!
