District 7 is an elementary choice district with two areas: northern and southern.
This map shows the line between north and south. Families may apply to all schools in District 7. However, families living north of the line have priority to schools in the northern area, and families living south of the line have priority to the schools in the southern area.
Admissions Priorities
Admissions Priorities are the order in which applicants are considered for placement. Students in District 7 will receive priority to elementary schools in the district in the following order:
1. Students with verified siblings who will be enrolled in grades K-5 in the school as of September 2013.
a. Within Priority Area first, then
b. Out of Priority Area, then
c. Out of District
2. Students who are currently enrolled in pre-kindergarten in the school without siblings enrolled in the school.
a. Within Priority Area first, then
b. Out of Priority Area, then
c. Out of District
3. Other students without siblings enrolled in the school.
a. Within Priority Area first, then
b. Out of Priority Area, then
c. Out of District
If there are more applicants than available seats within a priority group, seats will be assigned by lottery to members of that priority group.
