How families get in

If School Finder assigns Klondike Lane, register rather than submitting a magnet application. Other eligible Seneca Zone schools are ranked through School Choices.

  • 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.
  • Magnet schools and programs are selected separately from zone choices.
  • Ask which grades have space because the October 2025 enrollment was near listed capacity.
