A family that is not eligible for a subsidized program or tuition assistance may be required to pay tuition.<p>The timeline varies for processing Magnet preschool applications due to funding and licensure requirements.<p><a href=/enroll/preschool-enrollment> More Preschool information </a><p>Or, contact CPS' Early ChildhoodEducation Department: (513) 363-0240<h3>How the Magnet Lottery Works</h3><p>Magnet applications are submitted <strong> a school year ahead </strong> of when the child would enter the Magnet school or program.<h3>To Apply</h3><ul><li>Go to the <a href=/enroll/magnet-enrollment> Magnet Lottery Application </a> . Parents or guardians create an online account and password, then enter the requested student information.<li>Only parents or guardians may submit lottery applications. <ul><li>Each lottery application allows parents or guardians to select up to three Magnet schools or programs, ranking them in the order of preference.<li>Magnet seats are given out via random lottery.<li>One Magnet application may be submitted per child per school year.<li>Only the first lottery application will be accepted; any subsequent applications for the same student will not be considered.</ul><li>Parents or guardians may enter Magnet applications from any computer with internet access.</ul><p>If needed, parents or guardians may access computers in CPS schools and at the CPS Customer Care Center in the CPS Education Center, 2651 Burnet Avenue, Corryville, 45219.  <a href=/community/customer-care-center> Schedule an appointment with Customer Care </a>  or call (513) 363-0123.<p>Each online application is given a random computer-generated lottery number, which determines the order in which space at each Magnet school or program is assigned.<p><strong> There is no rush to be "first in line" in the Magnet Lottery. </strong><p>Each application has an equal chance to receive the student’s top choice Magnet school, as long as the application is submitted during the lottery application period — November 17, 2020, through March 5, 2021. <p>Parents will be notified by mail regarding magnet school placement within 30 days after the magnet lottery closes.<p>If a student's first choice Magnet school or program is filled, the student will be placed in the second or third choice school listed by the parent or guardian on the lottery application (if space is available).<p>Magnet seats are assigned until spaces fill up, starting with the lowest numbers.<p>Magnet waiting lists are created as capacity limits are reached. Applicants to Magnet programs with entrance requirements also are placed on waiting lists, pending confirmation that requirements have been met.<p>Waiting lists are in effect until June 30. If a child who applied in the Magnet Lottery has not been placed by June 30, the child’s parents or guardians should register the child at the neighborhood school assigned to the child’s home address, or the child can stay in the school where already enrolled.<p><strong> CPS is not responsible for any incorrect information entered on a Magnet Lottery application. </strong><h3>Sibling Application Period</h3><p><strong> Process: </strong> Siblings are given priority to enter magnet schools. Paper applications must be submitted at the magnet school during the <a href=/enroll/application-calendar> Sibling Application Period </a> ; this application is not part of the online lottery process. Parents should call the magnet school for office hours for handing in paper applications.<p><strong> Who may apply during the Application Period for siblings? </strong><p>Siblings of in-district students already enrolled in magnet schools may apply to the sibling's magnet schools. The entering student must meet the magnet school's eligibility requirements, if any, and live within the CPS district at the same address as the current student.<h3>Transportation</h3><p>A student enrolled in the assigned area Magnet school or program, or in a Citywide Magnet, is eligible for bus transportation if the student lives one mile or more from the school. If a student is enrolled in a school outside the assigned East or West Area, families must provide transportation to and from school. <br> Bus transportation is not provided for preschoolers.<p><strong> CPS is not responsible for any incorrect information entered on a Magnet Lottery application. </strong><h2>Registration</h2><p>After a child is accepted into a magnet school and before the school year begins, the parent/guardian must fill out the <a href=/families-students/forms> Student Registration Information Form </a>  and complete the <a href=/enroll> registration process </a> , which includes <a href=/enroll/registration-documents> required documentation </a> .<p>Only a parent or legal guardian may register a student in school. A legal guardian must present proper documentation (i.e., custody granted by a court or accredited agency).<p><strong> Important: </strong> The information on this page applies only to in-district students (living within the Cincinnati Public School District's boundaries). Students who live outside CPS may apply to CPS schools ONLY during the <a href=/enroll/lottery-application-calendar> Open Enrollment Online Application Period </a> .
