Enroll in Milwaukee Public Schools

Welcome to the MPS family! We are excited that you are ready to enroll your child and begin the learning journey to high school graduation and beyond. MPS has nearly 150 schools from Head Start through high school and dozens of programs to fit every student.

Some charter and partnership schools require students to enroll on-site or through assignment from Central Services. Each school’s enrollment policy is listed on the school’s page.

Select an MPS School

When you fill out an enrollment form, you will be asked to give your top three school choices. If your top-choice school has space available and any entry requirements have been met, your child will be enrolled in your first-choice school. Your second or third choice will be assigned if your first choice is not available.
