TAVARES – Lake County Schools is accepting applications from Lake County residents for 2025-26 Educational Choice transfers. The Open Enrollment window will remain open through April 30 for Lake residents. A second 2025-26 window opens in June for all Florida residents.
Educational Choice gives families the flexibility to send their children to any traditional public school, regardless of where in Florida they live, as long as the school has capacity and the family can provide transportation.
If an open school (one with capacity to take additional students) receives more applications than open seats, a random, computerized lottery will be held and applicants will be selected in the order determined by the lottery. Parents will receive results in mid-May.
