School of Choice
2023-24 Information
Thank you for your interest in joining our Walled Lake Consolidated Schools' family. The 2023-24 window for Schools of Choice is CLOSED. The application deadline was 11:59 p.m. on February 6, 2023.
Walled Lake Consolidated Schools is a participant in Schools of Choice 105 on a ‘limited’ basis. Limited means not all buildings and grade levels will have openings. Typically, we accept applications for grades K-10. Under Schools of Choice 105, we may enroll students who are not residents of our district but still reside in one of the other 27 Oakland County school districts who meet application guidelines.
The application window for the 2023-24 school was January 16 through February 6. Applications cannot be accepted before the window opens or after it closes.
