HISD’s School Choice application is currently open. The deadline to apply during Phase I is Feb. 2, 2023. Families will learn the lottery result the week of April 5, 2023.

Out-of-district applicants can apply during Phase I and will only be considered for seats after all in-district applicants have been accommodated.

Phase II runs April 5, 2023, through June 15, 2023. During that time, families placed on waitlists will receive offers as seats become available. All families will have an opportunity to apply to campuses with seats available in Phase II.

Families new to the district will be eligible to apply to School Choice campuses with seats available for enrollment in early August.
