How students get in

SAIL does not appear on the district’s high school zone map, so no address is zoned for it. Families request it through the district’s School Choice office: under controlled open enrollment, students may apply for a school or magnet program outside their zone, and when there are more applicants than seats a computerized random selection is held. The district asks that questions go by email to schoolchoice@leonschools.net.
