Thank you for your interest in the Amesbury Public Schools.
- Interested parties will be required to complete an application form (see attachment below) and return the application to the central office.
- After establishing the number of places available for out of town students at each grade level, enrollment of choice students will occur in the following order:
- Siblings of children already attending Amesbury Public Schools (in accordance with the 1994 amendment to the School Choice Law)
- Other applicants
- Where the number of applications is greater than the number of places available, the available places will be filled by a lottery conducted by the school district. The lottery drawing shall be conducted in public, with at least three days’ notice, and be drawn by a person without an interest in the outcome.
Once admitted to a school under the School Choice statute (MGL Ch76, S 12B) a child shall be entitled to remain enrolled at a school within the school system until his/her high school graduation with the following exceptions: there is a lack of funding for the program as a result of state action to discontinue the program; the student is removed for misconduct after due process under relevant laws and regulations; or the School Committee redistricts students.
