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.                            

Second Application Period for 2012 - 2013 School Year

The Student Assignment Second Application period (Batch 2) for the 2012- 2013 school year is scheduled for Monday, March 5 through Thursday, May 24, 2012.   The Application Period is mandatory for current students of Lee County Public Schools attending Pre-K,  5th or 8th grades as well as new students to the District. Students currently enrolled in a school may participate if they want to change school next year.

New students or students returning into our County can not apply online,  Only students currently attending Lee County Public Schools that received a pre-printed application can use the online option.

Parents of children who will be age five on or before September 1st, 2012 should apply for kindergarten for the 2012-2013 school year. Parents need to register their child even if they have an older child already in school- there are NO automatic assignments.  Seats are assigned based on a lottery, not a first come first serve basis.
