Schools can't deny students enrollment based on immigration status. Federal courts have struck down restrictive enrollment policies on numerous occasions.
Having walked parents through the enrollment process on several occasions in the past, my experience is that districts' biggest concern is proof of residency. (Though if a student qualifies as
homeless, it's amazing what sort of accommodation can be made to the process). A birth certificate is a typical requirement, but there is no reason why an
illegal immigrant wouldn't have one of those. (You don't earn a US birth certificate by being granted a green card). Also, lack of status would not stop an individual from going to a physician to get the state health assessment record filled out.
