Schools of Choice

Schools of Choice - 2026-2027

East Lansing Public Schools participates in a limited Schools of Choice program. Openings may not be available at every grade level and vary each year based on projected enrollment and current class sizes across the district.

Families interested in Schools of Choice for the 2026–2027 school year are encouraged to complete the Interest Form below. Completing the Interest Form allows the district to share Schools of Choice information; however, it does not serve as an application and does not guarantee placement.

Interest Form - Schools of Choice for East Lansing Public Schools

The official Schools of Choice application will be available in early June 2026 and will be open for a 15-day application period. If the number of applications exceeds the number of available openings, students will be selected through a random lottery. By law, the only preference that may be given is to siblings of currently enrolled Schools of Choice students.

Additional details, including the number of available openings by grade level, will be posted following approval by the Board of Education at a regular meeting in April 2026.
