Belle Glade: Controlled Open Enrollment for 2026-27

Belle Glade students and families interested in attending a school outside their regular attendance zone for the 2026-2027 academic year can now apply through the Palm Beach County School District's Controlled Open Enrollment (COE) program. The application window opened April 20, 2026, and closes May 22, 2026.

Controlled Open Enrollment allows parents to apply for their children, entering grades K-12, to attend a school anywhere within Palm Beach County, regardless of their home address. For families in Belle Glade, this means options from the Glades Region to the coast. The program is open to all Florida residents. Students must not be subject to a current expulsion or suspension to be eligible for reassignment.

Applications are submitted online through the MyPBChoiceApp.com portal. Families must select from a pre-approved list of available schools. Parents cannot apply for a school located within their current residential attendance zone. Participation in Controlled Open Enrollment does not affect a student's position on any waitlist for other Choice programs.

The Palm Beach County School District will not provide transportation for students attending schools outside their assigned zones through this program. Families are responsible for all transportation arrangements. This consideration may be particularly important for those commuting from areas like Pahokee or South Bay.
