4 Elementary School Choices
Let’s Get Started
JCPS has 91 elementary schools, all of which focus on core subjects like reading, writing, math,
science, and social studies — while also introducing students to a variety of other subjects, such as
the arts, technology, and world languages.
Most of our elementary schools are grouped into one of 13 “clusters” — groups of five to eight
elementary schools located within a specific geographic area. Your child is guaranteed a seat at one
of the schools in his or her designated cluster, which is determined by your child’s home address.
While most elementary school students choose to attend one of the schools in their cluster, JCPS also
provides several other programs to best match your child’s learning style or area of interest. We offer
a choice of elementary magnet schools and magnet programs that are nationally recognized and
focus on everything from performing arts to health and fitness, as well as traditional magnet schools
that emphasize back-to-basics learning in a highly structured environment.

Next Steps
Explore options for your child.
Choose your school(s).
Apply during the application
period: October 28, 2019, through
December 18, 2019. If you apply
during this period, you will receive your
student’s school assignment by April 1,
2020. An application is required for all
students entering a JCPS elementary
school for the first time.
To ensure that your child’s application process goes smoothly, please note
the following:
• All students entering kindergarten or students who have not previously attended a
JCPS school must register online with the district or at a JCPS elementary school prior
to applying for school.
• After they have registered, students who are entering kindergarten may apply to
schools within their cluster as well as any magnet school or magnet program.
• An application is required for all students entering a JCPS elementary school for the
first time, regardless of which school they are interested in attending, and for students
who have had a change of address.
You may register your child for school regardless of immigration status and/or a fixed,
regular and adequate nighttime residence.

School Clusters
Application required Transportation provided for all secondary
schools within a student’s cluster*
What is a cluster?
A cluster is a group of five to eight JCPS elementary schools located within a
specific geographic area. Every student is guaranteed a seat at one of the schools
in his or her cluster, which is determined by his or her home address.
*Transportation is not provided if you live in close proximity to your school, generally within 1 mile.
10 Elementary School ChoicesImportant to Note
During the application process, you will be asked to rank schools in your designated
cluster by order of preference.
You can also apply for up to two other options, such as a magnet school or a school-
based magnet program. Please consider the following during the registration and
application process:
• An application is required for all students entering a JCPS elementary school for
the first time, regardless of which school they are interested in attending.
• All students entering kindergarten or students who have not previously attended a
JCPS school must register online with the district, prior to applying for school.
• JCPS keeps siblings together in cluster schools when parents indicate the sibling’s
school as their first choice. The district also considers parental choice, space, the
student’s home address, and diversity of the student body when placing students
at schools. Due to capacity constraints, not all families can or will receive their first
school choice.
