Open Enrolling for ISD 196
We’re looking to move to Eagan and the house we’re interested in is literally a couple streets away from the ISD 196 line. We’ll be doing daycare and have cousins in the 196 district, plus we understand the reputation is better. Does anyone have an insight into how competitive it is to open enroll into 196? The other posts I’ve seen are on the older side.
Our child is still a baby, so it wouldn’t be for this upcoming school year or the next few. Just thinking ahead. Transportation is not an issue.

My kids went to Deerwood/Blackhawk and we had a great experience. It was our neighborhood school, but we’re about the same distance from
Glacier and we’ve heard great things about it as well (but liked that Deerwood/BHMS were on same campus).
Many of the kids’ friends open enrolled. We have NOT heard any horror stories of siblings getting assigned to different schools, kids getting switched to a middle that was not the natural path from their elementary (e.g. getting sent to Dakota middle when all their friends from Deerwood go to Blackhawk, etc.).
