Schools of Choice

Schools of Choice Plans for the 2024-25 School Year

There are many options for a quality education within Kent ISD and other state ISDs. Our Schools of Choice plans are designed to provide the best possible education for the vast majority of families who choose their home district while accommodating those who would like to transfer to another school.

Kent Intermediate School District Schools of Choice Plan

Kent City Schools will have 10 slots total available for each grade, K - 12, for the 2024-25 school year. This plan would include the acceptance of pupils from districts within the boundaries of the Kent ISD (in-county residents). Applications for this program will be accepted as follows: 

April 8 - May 10, 2024, at 4:00 PM                 Original Application Period

May 11 - August 26, 2024, at 4:00 PM           Final Application Period

If spots are still available, Kent City Community Schools will continue to accept applications until the first day of school. 

Families, please note: The Kent ISD Schools of Choice plan is a lottery-oriented system, not a first-come, first-served one.
