Aurora Public Schools

Aurora

Academic reference order#8

Enrollment & assignment

Most families enroll in the neighborhood school found through the address lookup tool. Open enrollment may be requested at another APS school when space is available; magnet and charter programs have separate admissions.

What makes it different

Aurora addresses may belong to APS or Cherry Creek Schools, so the city name alone never confirms the district.

Important

This order is a planning reference based on public academic indicators—not a declaration of “best” or “worst.” Schools within one district vary, and boundaries, ratings, programs, and admissions rules change.
