• Application Processes

  • For the 2026-2027 school year, the Early College application will be open from October 14 through December 12. The application for Magnet and Year-Round schools will be open from October 14 through January 22. Applications are not first-come, first-served. Applicants who are selected for a magnet school, year-round school, or an early college to which they applied are automatically assigned to that school. Only apply to a school or schools you want to attend. Families are notified via email if they receive a seat at a school they requested. If you are selected, you will only be selected for one of the schools to which you applied. 

     

    Unfortunately, you are not able to enroll your student and apply for early college, magnet or year-round school on the same day. It takes 24-48 hours for a student ID number to become active in the application portal. Student data has to be made active by the data manager at the base school, then flow into the application system. Start your WCPSS base school enrollment at least a full week prior to the time you plan to submit the magnet application

     

    Early College, Crossroads FLEX, Magnet, and Year-Round applicants will be notified of their results  on February 20 via email. This information will also be in the parent account.

     

    If you miss the magnet application period, you can submit a transfer request March 2-13 at wcpss.schoolmint.com. Click the “+” sign next to the “view submitted forms” link to access the transfer form. Use the available text box to share information about your request. If it is denied, you can request an appeal.  If you qualify for magnet priority, you could be assigned a priority magnet seat if any are available. Review your level of priority at wcpss.net/priorities. Permutations of medium and high socioeconomic status for both the base school and home address give you priority.  You still need an active student ID number to submit the transfer request.
