Detroit Community Schools

In Michigan your child can attend any school in the district (called intradistrict choice) if your child's current school is deemed low performing. Your child can also attend a school outside the district (interdistrict choice), provided that there is space and the receiving district agrees to accept the student. Charter schools are also available. Under the federal No Child Left Behind law, students attending a Title I school designated as "in need of improvement" have the right to attend a higher performing school in the district.
