Schools Of Choice

The open enrollment window is CLOSED.  We will no longer be accepting applications for Trimester 1 for the 2024-2025 school year.  Enrollment into Trimester 2 will take place November 4-15, 2024.  Applications will be available on November 4.

Lowell Area Schools participates in two schools of choice programs that are based on the school district in which a family currently lives.

To determine which application is correct for your family, see the guidelines below.  Completing the wrong form could jeopardize enrollment.  If we receive more applications than openings, a lottery drawing will be held.  

Application submission information (via email or mail) is located on the application.  If you are unable to print the form, please email Sonja DeDonado.
