Parents of Denver’s roughly 93,000 public school students have choices to make.
Kids in the city are automatically eligible to attend their local public school. Some live in “enrollment zones,” which means students choose one of a handful of schools in an area.
But not all students, and their parents, stop there. Thousands apply to enroll their children in a school despite not living in the boundaries of that school.
So which schools are the most sought after?
In the first quarter of the year, parents of about 22,000 students submitted ranked preferences for the school they wanted for their children. Of those, the majority 13,884, to be exact were submitting to enroll their student in one of three grades: kindergarten, sixth grade and ninth grade.

It s a good thing the school year is almost over: The latest report from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment lists 58 new COVID-19 outbreaks at K-12 schools, the most in a single week since the department began releasing weekly outbreak lists over a year ago.
Of the 859 outbreaks currently under active investigation by the CDPHE, K-12 schools account for 251, or just over 29 percent of the total. That appears to be a record, too.
The CDPHE considers an entity an outbreak after two or more COVID-19 cases among residents, staffers or other people connected to a specific location are confirmed within a fourteen-day period, or two or more cases of respiratory illness with an onset of symptoms within a fourteen-day period are paired with at least one additional COVID-19 diagnosis. The vast majority of businesses and facilities identified as outbreaks remain open while working with the department to monitor symptoms and prevent future infections.
