If more than the allotted number of scholars apply, a lottery will take place by January 24, 2025. All scholars, regardless of acceptance, will be notified of their status via SchoolMint after the lottery takes place.
Scholars selected will have five days from when the offer is made to accept their selection offer in SchoolMint. If families have more than one scholar accepting an offer, they must accept each offer for each scholar. If not accepted by that time, the seat will automatically be declined and given to the next person on the waiting list. Scholars who decline or do not accept their offer will not receive another offer from another campus.
Scholars not selected will be placed on the waiting list for their selected campuses.
What are Schools of Choice?
Schools of Choice is the process of allowing every family to choose the K-12 educational options that best fit their children. Every child is unique, and all children learn differently. Some children might succeed at the neighborhood public school, while others might fit in better at a school based on their unique interest.
Manor ISD is launching school choice to ensure equity, consistency and simplicity in school enrollment. Schools of Choice is a key component of our belief that all families should have equitable access to the schools they feel are the best fit.
The application process allows for families to rank their scholars' top school preferences in the Schools of Choice application. We then use a computer algorithm to match scholars to schools based on those preferences, as well as school admission priorities and available space. The system is designed to maximize the number of scholars getting their most-preferred school.
More about Schools of Choice
At Manor ISD, scholars have the opportunity to choose the educational pathway that is the best fit for them, even if it is located outside of their designated school attendance zone. We offer high quality educational learning opportunities, to fit each scholar's unique needs.
