Student Placement Process

William Penn School District uses place of residence as the primary factor determining which building a child will attend.

Families can access information about their neighborhood school building using the button below. At times, it may be appropriate to place a student at a building other than their neighborhood school.

Geography

• Use the interactive map to determine placement
• Students currently placed differently may remain where they are.
• Siblings of students placed differently should use interactive map to determine placement

Educational Placement

• Students are sometimes placed in a building or educational needs rather than geography
• Siblings of a student placed for educational needs may join their sibling (space permitting).

Building Enrollment Full

• When a building has reached capacity. WPSD may place a student at a building other than their geographic assignment
• Siblings of a student placed for building capacity needs may join their sibling (space permitting).

Extenuating Circumstances

• At the approval of the Superintendent or designee, a student may be placed elsewhere for extenuating circumstances
• Approval is done on a case-by-case basis

Virtual School

• Any William Penn School District student may enroll in the district’s virtual school
• Change of enrollment may only happen at the start of a new marking period
