Open Enrollment in Peoria Unified

  • If your family resides outside of district boundaries, or you wish to attend a school within the district that you are not zoned for, Peoria Unified offers open enrollment to all families. Open enrollment applies wherever there is current enrollment capacity within one of our schools. 

  • Open Enrollment Policy Overview

    Open Enrollment falls under Policy JFB - Open Enrollment and includes the following:

    • Families currently on open enrollment will not need to re-apply each year for Open Enrollment status. Schools will review students’ Open Enrollment status annually for readmittance for the following year.
    • An update to policy JFB, which now states that a school district may give enrollment preference to children of a member of the armed forces of the United States who either is on active duty or was killed in the line of duty.
    • Eighth-grade students who attend a district elementary school and wish to attend a high school out of their attendance area must fill out an Open Enrollment application by December 1 of their eighth-grade year. The application must be submitted directly to the high school of the student’s choice. This can be submitted via email to the high school registrar or in-person to the high school front office.
    • Applicants must submit Open Enrollment applications on or before December 1 of each year to meet the priority deadline to be considered for Open Enrollment during the following school year. Schools will accept applications through the school year, as capacity allows.
