School Choice
Seattle Public Schools students are initially assigned to a designated attendance area elementary, middle, or high school based on each student's home address. To view the attendance area schools for your address, use the address lookup tool on our About Our Schools webpage.
Students may apply for assignment to a different school (or program) through School Choice.
It is not guaranteed that students will be assigned to the school (or program) of their choice; students are only guaranteed assignment to their attendance area school. Additional information about option schools, including individual GeoZone maps, is available on the school webpages linked below.
Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment window is the annual period where students may first apply to attend a different school or program next year. School Choice applications will be accepted through May 31, but are only eligible for priority tiebreakers if received during Open Enrollment.
Open Enrollment for the 2020-21 school year is February 3 - 14, 2020. See key enrollment dates for 2020-21 school year.
School Choice forms will be available online, and at the John Stanford Center.
