Yes. Michigan sets a maximum age for enrolling in public high school, and the limit differs for general education and special education students. See the Michigan Age Out Policy for details.

Open Enrollment is the designated period when families can apply for the upcoming school year and receive equal consideration for available seats. If we receive more applications than we have seats, a random lottery determines which students are offered a seat and sets the order of the waiting list. If we receive fewer applications than seats, all eligible students are accepted.

See our Open Enrollment FAQ for important dates and details.

The lottery is a random selection process used to fill available seats in each grade level. A lottery is only held if the number of applications received during Open Enrollment exceeds the number of seats available.

Learn more on our Lottery FAQ.

If your teen is placed on the waiting list, don't be discouraged. Seats often open throughout the spring and summer as families' plans change, and we'll send you monthly updates on your child's status.

Find more information on our Waiting List FAQ.


If your teen is offered a seat, we'll contact you by email and text with next steps to complete registration. Keep your contact information current and opt in to text messages so you don't miss anything, since seats are time-sensitive and we can only hold one for so long.
