The 2020-21 GoCPS Application Period is Now Open


Picture
2020-21 GoCPS Applications are Now Available! We want all 8th grade families to explore the high schools you are interested in and apply using GoCPS.

Don't Rush. Take Your Time.

You have been preparing for this date for a long time and we know many of you are anxious to get started, but the most important tip we can give you right now is to relax and take your time.
 
Whether you apply on September 30th or December 6th, you have the same chances of receiving an offer to a program of your choice. It is a common misconception that applying early gives families an advantage in selection when, in fact, it does not. The selection process that generates offers for all applicants is run after the application process ends, so it is important that you take your time and use the full application window to plan and make good application decisions.

High School Application Basics

As a reminder, you can select and rank up to 20 Choice Programs and, if you are eligible, up to 6 Selective Enrollment Programs. You can receive a maximum of one single best offer from each category of school to which you apply, and you always have a guaranteed seat in the general education program of your neighborhood school whether you apply or not. Please be sure to rank your programs in your true order of preference; rank the program you want to attend most as your first choice, the program you want to attend next as your second choice, and so on. This is the order in which you will be considered for a seat.
 
Eligibility Data letters showing your student’s NWEA MAP scores, 7th grade final grades, and 7th grade attendance data will be distributed soon. Be sure to check this information for accuracy and alert your school if information is missing, as this can affect the programs to which your student is eligible to apply.

Open Houses

Be sure to visit the high schools in which you are interested by attending an open house. Check out the Dates and Events calendar at GoCPS to view these events by date, or search by school or zip code.
