High School Information Sessions

Attending an Open House is one of the best ways to learn about a high school. Several high schools offer the opportunity for an 8th grader to shadow a freshman. My friends whose kids have done this highly recommend it. They do book quickly so make sure to book early. My daughter’s April 2020 shadow day was cancelled because of COVID.

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.

The 2023-2024 windows have not been announced yet (December 13, 2022). These were the 2022-2023 windows:

  • In District Transfer Only
    • January 10-February 14 – Young Fives Kindergarten, 9th & 10th at Pioneer, Skyline, & Huron, and IB-11th grade at Huron
    • February 28-April 1 – The above (pending availability) plus Elementary, Middle School, K-8 STEAM
  • In-District Transfer & School of Choice
    • May 2-May 31 – Same as above pending availability

Other Public School Districts

  • Dexter openings to be determined in January 2023. Their first window for Fall 2023 is February 15-28, 2023
  • Saline – 2023-2024 School of Choice window is tentatively April-May 2023. Please fill out interest form.
  • Ypsilanti – School of Choice for winter 2022-2023 open October 6, 2022-February 8, 2023. 2023-2024 information not yet available
  • Lincoln – School of Choice for 2022-2023 open April 1, 2022-February 8, 2023. 2023-2024 information not yet available
  • Milan – Currently open for second semester 2022-2023 (December 1, 2022-January 27, 2023). 2022-2023 school of choice opened April 1, 2022.
