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.
