Choosing Schools
All magnet schools are represented at each fair. This is a great way to explore schools when deciding which would be a good fit for your child and determining which you would like to tour.

Zoned Kinder-5th grade families,
Due to the very limited space for our campus, we ask that you either complete the online application at https://hisdchoice.com (preferred) or pre-register as soon as possible. We begin taking pre-registrations from the second Monday of January through the second Monday of February. Any pre-registrations taken after the February submission date will be put on a wait-list by order of submission.
Students who are 5 years old on or by September 1 are eligible for Kindergarten.
Families must confirm they are living within the school zone by providing 2 current utility bills in the family name and parent driver’s license with a matching address. Additionally, the student birth certificate and current report card (for grades 1-5) are needed to begin the process. Upon receipt, you will receive a reply email with the remaining documents to be completed and returned.
Non-Zoned families,
Please apply at ww.hisdchoice.com
**Grades 3-8 must have Montessori experience to be considered in our lottery.
All PK3 and PK4 applicants are asked to complete the online Magnet application at www.hisdchoice.com. Choose Magnet and Garden Oaks Montessori. If your family qualifies for non-tuition PK, please make certain to upload the requested qualifying documents.
