Choosing a School

We know the importance of choosing a school that best meets the needs of your military child(ren). Even though School Liaisons are unable to make direct recommendations for schools, we are available to help you acquire information and research the schools within NRSE. We can provide overall information on districts as well as help you determine what schools you might be zoned to once you have a residence. Academic, demographic, and fiscal information on Georgia and Florida schools can be found using the following resources: Georgia School Grades Report and Florida Schools Report Card.

Out of Zone Student Transfer

Families interested in attending a school outside of their assigned neighborhood school should reach out to the School Liaison to learn of Georgia or Florida state policies and procedures.

Military Interstate Compact

The Military Interstate Compact (MIC) is an article of laws to help make transition easier for children of military families so that they may be afforded the same opportunities for educational success as other children and are not penalized or delayed in achieving their educational goals. The MIC provides support with placement, enrollment, extracurricular activities, senior moves and more! The MIC only covers students enrolled in U.S. Public Schools and DoDEA Schools. It does not apply to students enrolled in private schools, homeschools or international schools. Additional information can be found at: www.mic3.net.
