Middle and High School Assignment

In some cases, the number of students requesting a specific school may exceed the school's programmatic or physical capacity.  When that happens, we will redirect students to their second or third preference based on the following priorities, in order of importance:

1. Students who reside in the school attendance boundary
2. Students who are requesting a Voluntary Integrative Transfer
3. Students with a sibling attending the school who will continue to be enrolled the next year
4.  Students whose choice of schools does not satisfy one of the above priorities

If all three school preferences for a student are unavailable, students will be automatically assigned to their neighborhood school or at an overload school and placed on the waitlist for their first preference.

To support families in the preference process, some of our middle schools will be holding an in-person information night at their campus. Please see the schedule below:
