Let's Get Started

Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) has 22 regular (e.g., not alternative) high schools, which include 16 comprehensive high schools that serve primary residential addresses and six magnet schools. Students currently enrolled in the eighth-grade at a JCPS school will automatically be enrolled in the high school based on their primary residential address unless they apply to and are accepted into another school. We understand families want to have options for their child's education, which may include a choice other than their base school. For eighth-grade students who apply to a school other than the one that serves their address, JCPS offers options including network schools, Academies of Louisville, magnet schools, and magnet programs. Review the school options, programs, and offerings at each high school with your child and align them with his or her goals and future plans after high school.
