The Cheatham County School District will start accepting applications on April 14 for open and out-of-county enrollment for students who wish to attend our schools in the 2023-2024 school year.
Due to state law, school districts must identify each school with space available to enroll and serve additional students and post number of available spaces in each school at least 14 days before open enrollment begins. This chart is available under Attached Files.
The deadline to apply is May 15. There will be no exceptions.
According to the new law, after the deadline to apply, if the number of applications exceeds the number of spots available at a particular school, a lottery option will take effect within five business days.
Open enrollment is for families who live in Cheatham County and would like for their child to attend a school other than the one they are zoned for.
Out-of-county enrollment is for families who live outside of Cheatham County and would like to request that their child attend one of our schools.
In-county applications will receive first priority for available spots. Families must provide their own transportation for open and out-of-county enrollment.
The Cheatham County School Board waived the out-of-county tuition for students for the 2023-2024 school year.
