Non-Neighborhood Choice Enrollment
(K-12)

Students and families can explore Tacoma Schools online, attend enrollment open houses or schedule a visit to a school. Contact the school for event dates or to schedule a visit. 

If you are ready to make a choice selection, parents/guardians can submit a Non-Neighborhood Choice Application. 

Students will be placed into their choice school based on siblings, program availability, space and staffing capacity, but there is no guarantee of placement. Families must provide transportation to and from school and students must reside within Tacoma Public School boundaries.

Decisions on non-neighborhood choice applications will be made within one month of choice deadlines and parents/guardians will receive email notification from the Enrollment team. If offered a seat at a non-neighborhood choice school, families have two weeks from the time of notification to accept the seat.  Without a response the seat will be forfeited and offered to the next student on the wait list.
