Spartanburg District Five Schools has announced its 2025-26 Limited School Choice application window, giving families the opportunity to apply for enrollment in a school outside their home attendance zone.
The application period for Limited School Choice will run from Monday, January 13, 2025, to Friday, February 21, 2025. This program allows families to request a different school for specific needs. Requests are approved based on the reason for the request and the enrollment capacity of the requested school.
Out-of-District requests will also be accepted starting Monday, January 20, 2025, and will close on Friday, February 21, 2025. Families applying for Out-of-District placement must pay tuition and provide a release from their home school district.
