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 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.

You can also apply for up to two other options, such as a magnet school or a school-based magnet program.

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. Return to the Table of Contents Elementary School Choices 11
