Seeking expertise about the HISD school selection process for elementary schools. We’re in the early stages of relocating to HOU but have apparently missed the selection process for our kindergartner. We are most interested in the French immersion at Mark White but haven’t had luck finding anyone with direct knowledge of options once the selection process closes. She’s not technically a transfer since she’s never been enrolled in school, but is that the path? And can you transfer in to magnets?

The phase 1 lottery is done but there is a phase 2. I believe it’s right now so try applying and also, if you are living in the school’s zone you can still enroll.

Houston School Options is a company that helps you decide where to send your kids and to navigate the market. They specialize in those moving to Houston (often work with corporations who transfer people here). Suggest maybe reaching out to them? Couldn’t hurt.
