School Choice and Open Enrollment
School Choice for 2022-23
Start Date: February 1, 2022
School Choice Process
Before the deadline, families with students enrolled in Seattle Public Schools may submit school choice applications for the following school year.
- All Seattle Public Schools choice assignments are subject to space availability.
- Submitting the form does not guarantee an assignment.
- Please review the Linked School and Programs as some programs or support services may not be offered at your preferred school.
- New students must first register on the Enrollment webpage before participating in the open enrollment.
- Non-resident and Early Entrance Kindergarten students are not eligible to participate in the Open Enrollment School Choice process.
- If there are more applications than seats available for a particular school and grade, then certain tiebreakers are used to determine assignment and waitlist status.
Linked Schools and Programs
Most students are assigned to their neighborhood school. For some required services, a student may be assigned to another school.
