Return to the Table of Contents Elementary School Choices 4Let’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 four to eight elementary schools located within a specific geographic area. Your
child is guaranteed a seat at one of the schools in their 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.

What is a cluster?
A cluster is a group of four to eight JCPS elementary schools
located within a specific geographic area. Every student is
guaranteed a seat at one of the schools in their cluster, which
is determined by their home address.
*Transportation is not provided if you live in close proximity to your school, generally within 1 mile.
Return to the Table of Contents Elementary School Choices 10School Clusters
Important 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.
