UCPS School Choice (Transfer)

  • The Union County Board of Education approved the schools of choice for the 2025-2026 school year. School Choice is explained under Policy 4-13 Student Assignment. Through this option, families may apply for admission through lottery to any elementary, middle or high school within the district whose student population is no more than 85% of the capacity, as determined by the district. 

    Families may apply for School Choice Dec. 9, 2024 – Feb. 9, 2025 through the Scribbles portal. Families will be notified about their application status on Feb. 19 and parents must claim their school choice seats by Feb. 28.

    The Superintendent shall designate which schools are available for enrollment under this provision on an annual basis. The Superintendent and Board of Education have the final authority to identify schools available for choice under this option. Once a transfer has been granted under this basis, it will remain in effect until the terminal grade in that school location (i.e. 5th, 8th and 12th) unless revoked.

    Transportation is not provided for students who accept a transfer through School Choice. 

    If you have questions, please contact Dr. Stacey Barber in the Student Assignment Office.
