How families get in

Lowe is the resides elementary for some Eastern Zone addresses. Use School Finder for the exact home address before registering or ranking another school.

• If School Finder assigns Lowe as the resides school, register with JCPS. No magnet application is required to remain at Lowe.
• Students entering kindergarten or new to JCPS register first and then apply when an application is required.
• A different Eastern Zone school is selected through the School Choices section of the Elementary Application.
• Returning students staying at the same school who have not moved do not need to apply.
• An application is required after a move or when requesting a magnet or another school option.

Resides students use the regular elementary transportation system. Complete the Transportation Verification form and confirm current eligibility and the actual stop. Transportation rules can change, and a magnet placement elsewhere does not automatically retain a Lowe bus.

Who it tends to fit

Fit depends on the exact address, available space and current services. Confirm assignment, care options and the middle-school path directly with JCPS and the school.
