Do you have to attend school in your district?

In most places, you are required to attend school, but not necessarily *in your district*. While many districts prioritize students who live within their boundaries, there are exceptions such as:

* Open enrollment: Some districts allow students from outside their boundaries to attend if space is available. This varies greatly by state and district.

* Charter schools: Charter schools are publicly funded but often operate independently of the district, and may accept students from across district lines.

* Private schools: These schools are not bound by district lines and are open to students from anywhere.

* Homeschooling: Parents can choose to homeschool their children, removing the need to attend a district school.

Therefore, the answer is no, you don't *have* to attend school in your district, but you *do* have to attend school (or be homeschooled) and meet compulsory education requirements. The specific regulations will depend on your location (state and even county).
