Hear what Sneha has to say.... How Choice Works Each year, all Grade 8 students who live in the NEC attendance area participate in the high school Choice process. Students who attend an NEC feeder middle school are also eligible to participate. About 44% of the students select a non-base high school as their first choice, and most students receive their first choice high school in the Choice process. For those who receive their second or third choice high school, most of these students start and graduate from their assigned high school because they find other interests they can explore, make new friends and take great classes.
