How to Apply to an
Optional Program, Magnet
Program, or Magnet School
The middle and high school application period for the 2013-14
school year is Mon., Oct. 29, 2012, through Fri., Jan. 11, 2013.
To apply, complete the JCPS online application during this period.
The online application and instructions will be available on
the district’s Web site (www.jcpsky.net) and at registration sites
that will be located throughout the district.
For information on a particular school, visit the JCPS Web site
and click Schools. To verify which school serves your address,
use the online School Finder at http://apps.jefferson
.kyschools.us/demographics/schoolfinder.aspx or contact
the JCPS Demographics Office at (502) 485-3050.
For more information on the online application process, contact
the JCPS Optional, Magnet, and Advance Programs Office at
(502) 485-3323, the Student Assignment Office at (502) 485-
3802, or the Parent Assistance Center at (502) 485-6250 or
(502) 485-6771.
The instructions for the online application indicate that you can
list a first- and a second-choice program/school, but don’t list a
traditional magnet school, the Brown School, or a middle school
Mathematics/Science/Technology (MST) Program as a second
choice. Applications for these schools and the MST Program
are randomly selected for available openings. Students are
included in the random-draw list only if the program or school is
listed as the first choice.
Elementary and middle school students who are already enrolled
in a traditional magnet school or program don’t need to fill
out an application for a traditional magnet middle or high school
if their traditional school is a feeder school to the next level.
(See page 8 for information on traditional middle schools and
page 35 for information on traditional high schools.)
After you submit your online application, some schools will ask
for additional information, such as a student work sample or test
score, a copy of a report card or progress report, and a checklist
completed by a teacher. If a school asks you for additional
information, please reply promptly and send the information
directly to the school. Don’t send it to the JCPS Optional, Magnet,
and Advance Programs Office.
