Corrected on 1/6/09: An earlier version of this table had incorrect data provided to us by our partner, Standard & Poor's. Some schools whose admissions statuses were incorrectly listed as open enrollment have since been removed from this table.

Open enrollment schools educate any student who resides within their region as long as those students meet minimum eligibility requirements.

woot!! GO MCLEAN

Northshore High School, Slidell, LA

Northshore High School does have an AP curriculum and its students are very successful in the curriculum. LSU has recognized the school as one of its highest performing schools for students who test out of college level classes. This is true for each of the past five years. Please credit Northshore High School for its AP Curriculum and college placement success. The rankings have consistantly eliminated this performance each of the past several years of school rankings. The Bronze level is appreciated, but it does not take into account the AP achievements of Northshore High School which would have awarded the school with a Gold Medal status.

International Academy?? open enrollment

i live in bloomfied and i know that this is not open enrollment, you have to reach a certain grade point and then its a lottery on who gets in and who doesnt
