Three of those schools are directly run by the state, while two others are run by partnering charter school organizations, Cornerstone Prep and Gestalt Community Schools.

There are currently 14 schools they could choose from:
1. Graves Elementary School
2. Norris Elementary School
3. Alcy Ball Elementary School
4. Corry Middle School

9. Caldwell-Guthrie Elementary School
10. Klondike Elementary School
11. Cypress Middle School
12. Georgian Hills Elementary School
13. Denver Elementary School
14. Whitney Elementary School
