School Choice Registration Information

Overview of the Process:

School Choice is a state program which allows Massachusetts school districts to enroll 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 enroll School Choice students for the following year, a notification is placed on our website 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, the application is open for incoming students entering the following grades in September 2025:
