We are a Polk County Magnet/Choice school. If you would like your child to attend Davenport School of the Arts, you would need to fill out the online application during our open enrollment period. During this time only, you can find the application on the Polk County School website. This application goes directly to the District office. Once you have completed the application, students are put into a lottery pool by grade level. Polk County School District will pull students from the lottery pool throughout the year.. If you have applied, this does not guarantee a spot for your child through the Lottery Pool.
