| Description | Many school choice options are available to Seminole County students, providing an opportunity for students to attend a school other than their zoned school. These educational experiences, including magnet schools/programs, cluster schools and school transfer options, provide families with choices to customize their child's education. Elementary, middle and high school magnet programs provide students with an innovative, theme-based learning opportunity that matches the child's special interests and abilities. Elementary and middle school families living in a cluster zone with multiple schools have the opportunity to request a specific school. Families throughout the district can apply for a Board approved transfer option that enables students to attend a school outside of their designated zone, as long as all requirements are met. |
| Transportation Information | Transportation is provided to all students who reside more than two miles from the school. |
| Application Information | All Seminole County Public Schools students have an opportunity to participate in Choice options which include: Magnet Programs In order to be eligible for a district-wide magnet program, students must reside in Seminole County and meet the school/program eligibility requirements. If selected for the requested school/program, students will remain in the program for a minimum of one year as long as all magnet requirements are fulfilled. If there are no available positions in the requested school/program, students will be placed in a waiting pool. Elementary Clusters Students living in the Northwest and Northeast sections of Seminole County are not zoned to a specific elementary school; they are zoned to multiple schools and have the opportunity to request a specific school. Families need to complete a Cluster Request Form for each child, listing the schools in order of preference, and receive a school assignment from the Choices Department before registering at the designated school. Students not placed in the first school requested are automatically included in a waiting pool for that school. Student Transfers There are three types of student transfer options available: Desegregative Transfer Out-of-Zone Transfer Capacity Transfer Applications for all of our Choice options are available throughout the school year at the Choices Department. |
