Welcome to Boston Public Schools Registration

Discover BPS is a school search engine that helps parents understand where their children are eligible to go to school.

*****The School Quality Framework (SQF) tiers for all schools have now been updated with the most recent data. Your list of school choices will reflect these updated tiers. We encourage all families to pull an updated choice list to make sure you have the most accurate list of schools for your child.*****

Additional Resources to assist you in the School Choice and Registration Process

  • Visit Schools by attending a School Information Session    
  • Explore the School Profiles on the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's website.
