Mercer Island School District Board Announces Open Enrollment for 2024-2025 (April 2024)
The Mercer Island School District (MISD) Board has made some exciting updates regarding Open Enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year, and I'm here to explain them to you.
Starting 2024-2025, MISD will open its doors to new, nonresident students for full-time enrollment in grades 8-12. This means more educational opportunities and growth for students seeking quality education within our esteemed school district.
Priority consideration will be given to nonresident applications for:
Children of full or part-time MISD staff members.
Children of district athletic coaches and club advisors.
Substitute educator's children who have clocked in sufficient hours.
Children of staff from the district-contracted food service provider.
Children of full and part-time City of Mercer Island employees.
If you're wondering about partial enrollment or younger students, note that MISD will remain closed to new nonresident admissions for grades K-7 and partial enrollments are not on the table unless requested by full-time district staff.
Are you part of the city’s fabric as a staff member, coach, or educator? Your children may be eligible to join and benefit from the excellence that MISD has to offer.
The Board’s decision comes after careful consideration, aiming to balance new opportunities with maintaining the high standard of education and fiscal responsibility we pride ourselves on.
