School Choice Application 2024-2025

THE SCHOOL CHOICE PROCESS

The Longmeadow Public Schools participates in the School Choice program.  The school choice program allows parents to send their children to schools in communities other than the city or town in which they reside. Tuition is paid by the sending district to the receiving district. Districts may elect to not accept new school choice students if space is not available in a given year.

Each year, the School Committee studies the anticipated enrollment for the coming school year and decides if they will accept new School Choice students.  If the School Committee decides to accept new School Choice students for the upcoming school year, they also decide how many new students and what grade level(s).  Applications will only be accepted for students entering the grades where openings are available.  The School Committee conducts a lottery with all valid applications received by the application deadline.  Applications that are received in a number in excess of the available openings will be placed on a waiting list.  Applicants that are placed on a waitlist must reapply in subsequent years; waitlists do not carry forward from one year to the next.  Students that are accepted to attend the Longmeadow Public Schools, may continue their educational career until they graduate, voluntarily decide to withdraw or move outside the state of Massachusetts. 

Prior to acceptance to the Longmeadow Public Schools through the School Choice program, student records, including a student's discipline record, may be reviewed.
