Lowndes County Schools complies with House Bill 251 (2009) which gives current Lowndes County School residents an opportunity to change school zones if adequate permanent space is available at the school/grade to which they wish to transfer.

Parents or legal guardians of the Lowndes County School System have until May 29 to submit an application for transfer to one of the above grades at the above schools.  No other grades at any other school will be open for the 2013-14 school year. Lowndes County Schools will not accept applications for school choice for any students who wish to attend schools or grades outside of the ones outlined above. 
 
The schools and grades listed above are also available for new tuition students for the 2013-14 school year.  Eligibility requirements for tuition students are listed in the attached documents.
 
Applications for school choice and tuition for the above school/grades are attached.  They must be completed and returned during the school choice window which closes May 29, 2013.  NO applications will be accepted after the May 29, 2013 deadline.  
 
If the number of school choice and transfer and tuition requests exceeds the available slots, the system will conduct a random lottery that provides each interested student with an equal chance to be admitted.  Parents and/or legal guardians will be notified no later than June 28, 2013 of the system’s decision.
 
Any current parent/guardian with a current school choice and/or tuition students having a sibling ready to enter school should contact the system’s Centralized Student Enrollment department for the appropriate application form.  The department can be reached at 229-316-1830 or 229-316-1831.
