Lotteries, In-District Transfer & School of Choice
Ann Arbor Public Schools
Lotteries are used for Ann Arbor Open (K-8) and Community High School. Both schools are in high demand. In-District Transfer allows district residents to apply to a school other than their home school. School of choice allows non-district residents to attend Ann Arbor Public Schools.
There are typically several windows for In-District Transfer and School of Choice. At the close of each window, applicants are notified of their assignment. It is always best to apply in the early rounds. I know my daughter’s guidance counselor said that in 2019-2020 Pioneer was the only one of the 3 comprehensive high schools to close to transfers. COVID did change the procedures for IDT and School of Choice, so we recommend applying as early as possible.
As of January 8, only the First In-District Transfer Window has been announced. Details on that and 2024-2025 dates for future windows are below:
- In District Transfer Only
- January 7-February 13, 2025 – Young Fives Kindergarten, 9th & 10th at Pioneer, Skyline, & Huron, and IB-11th grade at Huron
- (Dates for 2024-2025 school year) February 26-March 29, 2024 – Young 5s-10th plus IB at Huron for 11th
- In-District Transfer & School of Choice
- (Dates for 2024-2025 school year) April 16-May 10 – Young 5s-10th plus IB at Huron for 11th
- School of Choice Only
- (Dates for 2024-2025 school year) May 29-June 27
- (Dates for 2024-2025 school year) July 25-August 8
