Questions to ask before choosing an address
Which district actually serves the addresses we are considering in Randall County?
Do the neighborhoods we like fall inside the same district, or are we comparing different Randall County district systems?
What changes at the elementary-to-middle and middle-to-high transitions in the district pathway we would likely use?
Which charter, magnet, or virtual options require a lottery, application window, separate transportation plan, or address eligibility check?
Are the largest listed schools the ones our address can actually attend, or are they only county-level context?
