<p>I'm a rising senior, and a lot of bad things happened at my school last year (I'd rather not elaborate here on CC). I'm looking at another public school outside of district through tuition, but I'm not sure if that's possible. Anywho, I was just wondering if someone could tell me any information about this topic. Is it possible to pay income? How much is the income where you go? ANY information would be helpful. Thanks in advance! :)</p>
<p>In my area, I think if your on the border you can fight it, but besides that I don’t think you can go out of district?</p>
<p>Does your district only have one high school? (Mine has two. You can choose to go to the other one, but you can’t chose to go to mine bc it’s overpopulated.)</p>
<p>I am. You don’t have to pay money… why would you have to pay money to go to public school?</p>
<p>Yes. You do have to pay money. It’s the easiest way. Tuition here in SC is about $3000… but it really depends on the school.</p>
<p>If you’re a strong student, the school will want you. Contact the school for more information. I know plenty of students who go to school out of district.</p>
<p>I did in third grade. (XD- long time ago)</p>
<p>You have to pay, even though its a public school, because in some cases you’re not paying ‘tax money’ to that school. (Although in SC, education tax money comes solely from the state…)</p>
<p>That’s why people really want ‘school choice’. Because as it is now, if you don’t pay tuition, you can’t go out of district. And going to another school in your district is often very difficult to do, because you can’t pay tuition and school districts don’t like the hassle.</p>
<p>Honestly though it depends on where you are as to how cooperative the district is. But it’s much easier to pay tuition to go out of district than ask for a free transfer in district.</p>
<p>You also could lie if you don’t want to pay money. Do you have any family living in that district? If so you could use their address. I don’t recommend that. It’s really a last resort.</p>
<p>Wow, here it’s free.</p>
<p>Then again, going to a different district is very uncommon here.</p>
<p>^ As with here. Most of the schools in the area are within my district though, so it works.</p>
<p>^ Where do you live? Your state may be more tolerant of out of district. (IE: Has school choice)</p>
<p>Ok. Do you guys think I’ll be able to transfer if the policy allows? I’m first in my class, high ACT/SATII’s, and heavily involved in extracurriculars. I live in Missouri.</p>
<p>(I’d pay tuition.)</p>
<p>Wait, we might have to pay. No one here goes out of district. (I’m in Idaho.) You’re either in a back woods town where the closest school is over an hour away, or you’re in an area that you have a lot of schools in your district, so it’s easy to switch around.</p>

<p>We don’t have school choice, my school just noticed this year that I don’t belong (rising senior). My parents just had to come in and do some paperwork and I got to stay.</p>
<p>Wow, that’s weird. My state has Choice where all state residence are able to attend any school in the state free of charge. Of course, in-district students have first choice but leftover spots are given to out of district students. However, bussing is only provided within district.</p>
<p>What state do you live in, raiderade?</p>
