DDES Enrollment Priorities

Diverse by design

DDES will continue to focus our enrollment efforts on becoming a fully integrated K-5 public school, both racially and socio-economically. We believe that integrated schools have proven to be the most successful learning environments where students thrive and are most likely to reach their full potential.

Current DDES student race & ethnicity demographics:

45% Percent students of color
9% Multiple races
6% African American/black
29% Hispanic/Latin(a/o)/Latinx
55% white
1% Asian/Pacific Islander

Low Income Priority

District resident students who qualify for free and reduced lunch and/or who reside in a geographic area with a high concentration of students eligible for free and reduced lunch will be prioritized in Round 1 of the choice process at DDES.

Sibling/Household and Alumni Priority

It is the intent of DDES to support whole families and create a school community. Siblings of enrolled students will receive priority for admission if their choice forms are received by the designated deadline. Families may also apply for household priority. Household priority is given when a child who is not a sibling, lives with a current family.
