Magnet Schools Lottery Opens

Columbus School District offers parents a choice! The only school district in Mississippi to offer parents the choice of 5 elementary schools and unique magnet themes. They are given an opportunity to select the school that is the best fit for their child through our magnet school lottery.

CMSD will take applications for the lottery today through 4:00PM - March 26, 2010. Parents can bring or mail the application to Central Office over the next month. You can pick up a lottery application from any magnet school, central office, or online.

K-4th grade students who are already enrolled in a magnet school are guaranteed a seat for the next school year in that school. If a parent wishes to attend a different school, they must reenter the lottery by filling out a lottery application.

An open house will be held at every magnet school open to all prospective parents and students. Please visit the Columbus School District website for the Open House & Expo Dates.

Parents of students who wish to attend Pre-K at Stokes-Beard must fill out a lottery application by March 22, 2010. All Pre-K applicants must be tested.
