this is going to vary widely based on where you live. If you're in Boston, it's a complicated nightmare with training sessions and facebook groups dedicated to deciphering the arcane pagan incantations needed to enroll in Pre K.

If you're in a burb it's usually a little more straightforward.

Thankfully not in Boston. Even though it's over an hour from me I still get Boston schools when I search online.

Search YourTown schools and you’ll find your district website with information about enrolling and contacts. The district office will probably be closed until January 3.

I can’t dispute that it is a nightmare, and Boston sucks in many ways, but they try really fucking hard to get kids into school. It may not be the school of your choice, but they will die on the hill of getting you into at least one public school in K2 or higher. They also have free breakfast and lunch, and send home COVID tests every weekend. They know that every uneducated child will cost them much much more if they have to pay the BPD to deal with them later
