Limited Choice (IDLC)

In-District Limited Choice 2024-2025

Families living within the Metropolitan School District of Washington Township boundaries may submit an application for their child(ren) to attend a school, other than their home-assigned school. Please check the MSDWT Attendance Boundaries Interactive Map link  to confirm your student’s assigned/home school. 

If you are a MSDWT resident, the search will display results for the home-assigned elementary and middle schools.

PLEASE NOTE:

If you applied and were approved for In-District Limited Choice status for the 2023-24 school year or prior, there is no need for you to reapply until your student(s) is/are promoted from elementary to middle school.

  • Applications will be accepted only through the online format provided below; and
  • Parents must submit a separate IDLC application for each student.

We are currently enrolling for the 2024-25 school year for both nonresident and IDLC families.  However, there is no capacity at Allisonville Elementary, Clearwater Elementary, and Willow Lake Elementary.  Northview Middle School is at capacity and will no longer accept nonresident applications.

Due to enrollment trends throughout the district, school attendance zones are currently under review. This enrollment review process will conclude in December with any potential revisions for the Board of Directors consideration taking effect during the 2025-2026 school year.  Therefore, we will move the Nonresident and In-District Limited Choice Application windows for next school year to January 20 – March 14, 2025, to allow time for this comprehensive review to conclude.
