Enrolling students into Cincinnati Public Schools is an easy-to-follow process that is handled at the individual schools. It's a one-step process to enroll (also called registering) in a neighborhood school and a two-step process to enroll in a School of Choice.

Neighborhood Schools

Step 1:

The parent (or legal guardian) goes to the child's assigned neighborhood school and turns in the five-page Student Registration Information Packet. The packet is available from the school or can be printed from the Web.

Schools of Choice

Step 1:

The parent (or legal guardian) fills out an application form required for entry into a School of Choice, which are the magnet elementary schools and all high schools. (This step does not apply to eighth-graders who apply online at school.) Acceptance of the application is determined by such things as how much classroom space is available in the building and whether the student is eligible for the program. Application forms are available at the school or can be printed from the Web.

Step 2:

After the student's application is accepted, the parent fills out the five-page Student Registration Information Packet and turns it in at the school. The packet is available from the school or can be printed from the Web.
