How families get in
Field is the Waggener Zone resides elementary for some addresses. If School Finder assigns this address here, you register rather than submitting a magnet application. It is not a Traditional magnet and not a MicroSociety magnet.
- Register first if the child is new to JCPS or entering kindergarten.
- Returning students who have not moved do not need to reapply to stay.
- Use School Finder to confirm the resides school, zone, and later school path.
- Complete Transportation Verification and confirm the current stop.
2027–28 application window
- November 2–December 18, 2026
- Confirm dates with JCPS before applying
Resides students at Field are in the regular elementary transportation system. A magnet seat somewhere else does not automatically keep a Field bus.
Who it tends to fit
A good match when
- Field is your resides or chosen school and you will use the FRC and school support services as part of the plan.
- The 9:40 a.m. start works for your household.
- You want a Crescent Hill neighborhood campus with Blue Ribbon / Model Professional Learning, Advance/GT, Mandarin Chinese, musical theatre, and STEAM/3D printing on a 9:40 Waggener Zone schedule.
Think twice when
- You need a 7:30 a.m. campus instead of the 9:40 a.m. start here.
- You want a Traditional uniform culture or a districtwide theme magnet.
- You assumed Waggener High is automatic — confirm the middle in School Finder.
