Message To Parents
Dear Students, Parents, and Caregivers,
I am excited to welcome you to our annual School Choice Expo and share with you the
many opportunities available to children in Duval County Public Schools. Families now
have multiple School Choice options, including neighborhood schools, magnet schools,
online instruction, and specially-themed choice schools. Within each school, the district
offers individualized programs that focus on a variety of interests for our students and their
families.
As you explore the options available to you, I invite you to visit our schools, both
those in your neighborhoods and our numerous Choice options. Although you may be familiar with some of the
district schools, there is no substitute for actually walking the halls and meeting the teachers when considering your
choice. Take the tours offered by the schools or attend an evening family informational meeting. I encourage you to
find out as much as you can prior to making your decisions.
Even after a combined 36 years of service to the district, I still feel a sense of excitement about the possibilities
that a new school year brings. I know that you have many educational options available to you, and I thank you for
considering Duval County Public Schools. Our commitment is to ensure quality learning for every student, in every
school, in every classroom, every day.
Sincerely,
Dr. Patricia Willis, Superintendent

Quick Start Guide for Magnet Schools
Below are the main steps to starting an amazing journey in the Duval County magnet
programs. Each step will be explained further in the pages that follow.
STEP ONE CHOOSE A MAGNET PROGRAM

Rather than focusing on which particular school to attend, concentrate on selecting the type
of magnet program the student is interested in. Families should talk about the student’s
interests and future goals, trying to match them to the magnet programs offered. Read
through the programs offered by each school. Elementary schools start on Page 47, middle
schools on Page 61 and high schools on Page 69.
The helpful chart on the following pages show how the student can follow through in the same
magnet theme as he or she moves from elementary to middle to high school.
STEP TWO LEARN THE DETAILS

There are specifics you will need to know about the magnet programs, such as the
magnet lottery, priorities for admission, transportation, and other topics. Turn to Page 8 for
information about these topics, as well as events you can attend to get more details.
STEP THREE APPLY TO THE MAGNET PROGRAM

Admission to the magnet program is by application only. It is an easy process, but
there are important steps that must be followed to apply. Refer to Page 25 for additional
information.
Remember: The application deadline for the 2018-2019 school year is February 28,
2018.
STEP FOUR COMPLETE YOUR JOURNEY

After learning all about the magnet programs and submitting the application, students
receive notification concerning the outcome of the lottery. This section, starting on Page 29,
will tell you everything you need to know, including steps for enrollment.

STEP ONE CHOOSE A CHOICE PROGRAM

Families should talk about the student’s interests and future goals, trying to match them to
the choice programs offered. Read through the programs offered by each school. Elementary
schools start on Page 47, middle schools on Page 61 and high schools on Page 69.

There are many things you will need to know about the Duval County Choice Programs, such
as the choice lottery, priorities for admission and other topics. Turn to the following page for
information about these areas as well as events you can attend to learn more.
STEP THREE APPLY TO THE CHOICE PROGRAM

Admission to the choice program is by application only. It’s not a difficult process, but there
are some important steps that must be followed to apply for a place in the choice program at
a school. Refer to Page 35 for additional information.
Remember: The application deadline for the 2018-2019 school year is May 15, 2018.

After learning all about the choice programs and submitting the application, students receive
notification concerning the outcome of the lottery. This section, starting on Page 38, will tell
you everything you need to know, including steps for enrollment.

PRIORITY FOR student who applies. For this reason, the choice that you make on the
ADMISSION application is assigned a certain “priority” ranking which is considered in
the choice lottery. Those priorities are described in this section.
Entering Grades K-12 All applications for Choice are processed through the choice lottery.
Seats are allocated according to availability and priority. Applications are
processed based on priority until all open seats are filled.
Priority 2. Employee’s Child Preference for students whose parent is employed in an eligible
position at a Duval County Public School where the student is eligible to attend or
attend the next closest appropriate DCPS school.
- OR -
Military Dependent Preference or a transitioning student who has a parent on
active duty. (Students meet eligibility requirements when applicable, follow
application procedures, reside in Duval County and in the household of the
military affiliated parent, and submit active duty orders and emergency data
record.) Please refer to School Board Policy 5.23 for complete details.
Priority 3. Sibling Preference for a student who has a brother or sister residing at the same
address who attends a choice program at the same school and is eligible to
return next year. Siblings applying for the first time are not eligible to receive
sibling preference. (Parents completing a blank application must provide name
and student ID number of sibling already attending the school.)
Priority 4. Neighborhood Principal’s Signature Preference for students whose parent
attends a tour, open house, or meeting of their neighborhood school during the
Choice application window.
Priority 5. General Priority for students whose parent submits an application without any of
the above priorities.
