Annual Assignment Highlights

The Enrollment Center regularly receives requests from prospective parents as they try to understand their chances of getting assigned to their preferred schools.

• The annual assignment highlights below are a good starting point, which show that 92% of students get assigned to one of their choices, on average.

• Now, families can also consult this new public resource which shows assignment outcomes for each specific school, grade, program combination. The spreadsheet shows an average over the previous three years. Please review the INTRO tab and Sample Data Explained tab to guide your use of this tool.
