Student Placement Policy Effective for the 2011-2012 School Year

We believe in high achievement. We believe in joyful learning. We believe in a bright future for every San Francisco child. We believe in the value of diversity. We believe in full access to free, quality education. We believe that every family should have choices in selecting schools that are a good fit for their child's interests, needs, and dreams.

These beliefs guide the new student placement policy, which takes effect for the 2011-2012 school year and will phase in fully over the next few years.

The student placement policy governs which school each San Francisco Unified School District student will attend based on requests you make on your enrollment application.

Keeping it simple:

The new student placement policy is about the rich diverse cultures of the San Francisco community. And it’s about choice, because we’ve consistently heard from our communities that parents want choice.

We are committed to keeping school choice simple. To apply, tell us where you live and what schools you want.

Consistent. Clear. Fair.

The new placement policy aims for every student’s top choice, and we believe in meeting as many top choices as possible for all San Francisco families.

We believe that you should know how children receive their school placements. The new policy uses school tie-breakers, applied in the same way to every student’s school application.

Tie-breakers ensure a fair chance for every student. We process all school applications received by the deadline at one time so that no one is at a special advantage or disadvantage. Find out more about tie-breakers
