[[File:MA Public High School District Open Enrollment Status by town.png|thumb|The Commonwealth of [[Massachusetts]] allows the school committees of public school districts to have open enrollment policies. Towns in Massachusetts represented by the "School Choice Receiving District Status" (open enrollment status) of their public high school district for the 2016–2017 academic year. Towns represented in blue have school districts with an open enrollment policy for kindergarten through high school. Towns represented in purple have school districts with open enrollment only for specific grades. Towns represented in red have school districts with a closed enrollment policy.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.doe.mass.edu/finance/schoolchoice/|title=School Choice – School Finance|website=www.doe.mass.edu}}</ref>]]

Intra-district open enrollment programs allow school choice within a district, while inter-district open enrollment allows families to choose schools outside the district.<ref name=":1" />

To participate in [[California]]'s District of Choice program, district governing boards declare themselves a District of Choice and set a quota for how many students to accept. School districts cannot discriminate among students, but can limit the number through a lottery system.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/3331|title=Evaluation of the School District of Choice Program|date=January 27, 2016|website=Legislative Analyst's Office|access-date=August 6, 2017}}</ref>
