Tolleson ESD Attendance Area

Open Enrollment

You have a choice in where to educate your child. Tolleson ESD welcomes students both within and outside our district boundaries. 

Open enrollment allows Arizona students to attend public schools outside their attendance areas or their districts based on capacity. If no excess capacity exists, we will place you on a waiting list and inform you when space is available. The school may reject an open enrollment if the student has been or is in the process of being expelled from another school district or educational institution.

If you wish to enroll at a Tolleson ESD school but live outside the attendance area, please complete the following form:
