School Choice

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 ranked higher than the seat they were offered.  
 
Phase II: Space Available - Parents may add themselves to existing waitlists established during Phase I. *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 that are not enrolled in HISD can submit an application even after Phase 2 has closed.
