We encourage families to request a school using the online option on the MPS website. If your student will be entering high school (grades 9, 10, 11, 12) next year, you can complete the online form at highschoolrequest.mpls.k12.mn.us beginning on 12/5/20. You can see your assigned community school based on address by clicking here. The first cut off date for submitting your school choice application is 2/7/21. All families need to complete the choice form even if they live in Washburn's attendance zone. This is how you tell the district your preference for a high school.
You can get a paper school request form at the two Placement Center Locations:
Student Placement Services 1250 West Broadway, Minneapolis, MN 55411 (View a map of this location) 612.668.1840
New Families Center 3345 Chicago Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN 55407 (View a map of this location) 612.668.3700
