Student Assignment

Welcome to Student Assignment

Selecting a school for your child is an important decision. The professional staff at the Student Assignment Office is available to assist you through the application process and to help you better understand how students are assigned to schools here in Lee County. You will find that there are many excellent schools in your area (zone).

In Lee County, the system of one neighborhood, one school, has given way to a concept of a larger community with several schools. What had become an annual ritual of redrawing school boundaries, moving children from one school to another, involuntarily to accommodate growth, has been replaced with an open-enrollment system where parents select from among a variety of schools close to where they live. Once a child is enrolled in a school, parents have the assurance that the student will remain in that school through the highest grade unless the parent chooses for the child to attend another school.
