How Does OneApp Consider Geography?
Geographic priority for most schools is determined by “geographic catchment zones,” a way of splitting up the city by neighborhood. The zones we use to determine placements can be seen in the map on the right side of this page. The Geographic Zones were revised in Summer 2016. There are now seven (7) zones. Schools grant priority to applicants living in the zip codes within their zone.

The majority of K-8 schools offer partial geographic priority, which means that applicants residing in the school’s geographic catchment zone will get priority to up to 50% of available seats. Geographic priority does not apply to the other half of available seats, so that other applicants will have the opportunity to attend schools outside of their zone. There are some schools that grant geographic priority for a higher percentage of their seats, or to select zip codes rather than to an entire geographic zone. Look at schools’ priority information, published in the application materials, for more information.

Students enrolling in most high schools will not receive geographic priority. This approach maximizes student choice and allows schools to specialize in particular programs and areas. Families should consider these factors when selecting schools and planning for next school year.

How Does OneApp Consider Siblings?
EnrollNOLA seeks to keep siblings in school together whenever possible. Here’s how:

Sibling Priority: If your child applies to a school their sibling attends and will continue to attend in the upcoming school year, they will receive sibling priority to that school.

Family Link: If you submit an application for each child listing the same school selections in the same order, the students will be family-linked, and OneApp will attempt to assign the students to the same school or early childhood program if possible.

Please note that Family Link will only apply to public school applicants. If you include nonpublic schools on your application, Family Link will not apply. Family Link does not give you priority to the schools you list on your application.

We seek to assign your children to the same school, but cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. School assignments are based on seat availability.

Special Education
The Recovery School District does not consider a student’s disability when assigning students to schools. Students with disabilities and English Language Learners may apply and be matched to any participating school that they are eligible to attend.

The Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB) reserves the right to assign a student with disabilities to a school site other than those school choices selected by the parent / legal guardian. The school assignment will take into account parent choice and will be consistent with the parent’s and child’s rights under applicable federal and state law and regulations pertaining to students with disabilities as well as consistent with OPSB’s rights and obligations under those legal mandates.

The Louisiana Department of Education does not consider a student’s disability when assigning students to nonpublic schools. Some nonpublic schools may not offer additional educational services for students with disabilities, but all schools must enroll all students awarded scholarships, regardless of disability. Not all nonpublic schools offer special education services. Please contact the school(s) of your choice before listing them on your child’s application to ensure they are able to meet your child’s needs.
