Phase Two Application Closes
One week before school opens
Phase I: Lottery – Parents rank options and apply. HISD runs a lottery to determine which students get a seat. Students who do not receive a seat are waitlisted at all schools they ranked higher than the seat they were offered.
Phase II: Space Available - Parents may add themselves to existing waitlists established during Phase I or enroll directly in campuses with space available. Current HISD students can no longer apply once this phase closes.
Students may still be offered a seat at a campus if space opens up until the end of Phase 2. At the end of this phase, waitlists are retired.
Note:
Students who are not enrolled in HISD can submit an application even after Phase 2 has closed.
School Choice application dates for PreK will be shared in the future.
