Overview of the Process:

School Choice is a state program which allows Massachusetts school districts to accept students from other Massachusetts towns. This is an optional program as not all towns participate.

The Mansfield School Committee determines, on an annual basis, openings for the upcoming school year. This determination is made by May 1st after the Superintendent of Schools reviews current and projected enrollment figures and class sizes, then presents a recommendation to the School Committee.

If the School Committee votes to accept School Choice students for the following year, a notification is placed on our website (on or before April 30th) with a deadline date for applying. If the number of applicants exceed the number of available openings, a lottery will be held to fill the spots.

For the 2025-2026 school year, we are accepting applications for incoming students entering the following grades in September 2025:
