This is good info. It doesnāt really break out for student athletes though. LP & (I think) DP are open enrollment because of the way the towns intertwine. Thatās the way itās been for many years anyway. I assume it still is that way. The kids have a choice after Jr. High to go to either High School because LPISD has elementary schools in DP. As I recall, DP didnāt want to build out more (Robin Hood issues), and so DPISD & LPISD came to an arrangement because LPISD is one of the highest givers to Robin Hood in the state, and it helped both keep more funds in district.
Of course, LPISD is open to all. Not just DP, and LPISD is rated well. So, I assume they have kids from elsewhere also. Not positive though. They used to have a lot becauseāfor decadesāDeWalt was the only dedicated public school in the GHA that specifically catered to special needs kids. Families from all over enrolled. But, they didnāt participate in extracurricular activities like sports. So, LPās total enrollment made them 6A. But, they were really a 5A school all along for sports program sake.
This is all as best as I can recall from when I was more involved in school issues. Iām sure a lot has changed since then. My kids have been out for 20 years.
