Every Seattle Public Schools (SPS) student is assigned to their attendance area school based on where they live. Students may apply to attend a different school through the Open Enrollment for School Choice process.
Open Enrollment for School Choice submissions by January 31 are on-time and considered for tiebreakers. Late applications will be accepted until March 31. All late applications are subject to availability and are not eligible for tiebreakers.
