The Fayetteville School Board voted last night to allow open enrollment for Leverett and Washington Elementary schools.  This means that students who live outside of the Washington and Leverett Elementary zones may request to attend those schools (provided that the parents provide transportation).  See today’s Democrat Gazette article here. 

Leverett and Washington are both located extremely close to the University of Arkansas campus, and would be a great option for parents who attend or work at the UofA.  The schools are also excellent for those who prefer a smaller elementary school. 

My oldest child attends Leverett, and we love it.  I also know lots of families with children at Washington, and they consider that school to be a “gem” as well.  If you would like to request a transfer to one of those schools, you should do so soon.  It appears that a deadline for transfer requests will be set for April.

    My daughter attended Washington Elementary and we think very highly of it! I loved that she was able to walk home in the afternoons, loved her teachers, and loved the feeling of a neighborhood school. She cried when she graduated and still says she wishes she could go back.
