To be eligible for Schools of Choice, applicants must be residents of a district within an intermediate school district contiguous to the boundaries of the educating district’s intermediate school district. Transportation will not be provided for non-resident students. The non-resident applicant’s district of residence will be asked to provide information for evaluating the student’s application. Watervliet Public Schools may refuse to enroll a non-resident applicant who has been expelled and/or suspended within the preceding two years from school or has a poor attendance record at their resident district.
If the number of qualified non-resident applicants exceeds the enrollment allotments available, the district will use a random draw system that complies with State & Federal anti-discrimination laws. Applications not accepted by the random draw will be placed on a waiting list.
The following grade-level openings are available for the 2026-27 School Year:
