Close-to-home Elementary Assignment map
The close-to-home elementary assignment map was designed for students entering kindergarten. Only those students entering kindergarten, sixth- or ninth-grades will be guaranteed their close-to-home school. All other students will be assigned to a close-to-home school on a space-available basis. Parents who need additional information should contact Student Assignment, (727) 588-6210 or the district Call Center, (727) 587-2020.
The variables used in the development of the map were the:
- Number of students who accepted a magnet, fundamental or career academy seat for 2008-09 (these students were removed from the population to be assigned).
- Density of student populations in the county.
- Historical zoning patterns where applicable.
- Sibling priority implications.
- Consideration of major roads and thoroughfares.
- Natural boundaries such as lakes, parks, etc.
- Input received during listening sessions and from other written correspondence.
- Input from school principals.
- Class size amendment implications.
** The map includes four area magnet schools: Lakewood, Maximo, Campbell Park and Gulfport. Students living in one of these designated school zones will be given a priority to attend that school if they agree to participate in the magnet program at the school.
