Out-of-Area Requests

In limited circumstances, Fayette County Public Schools may permit a student to attend a different school than the one serving their family's neighborhood.

Plug in the student's home address to see the assigned schools (elementary, middle, high):

While not all schools are open to out-of-area (OOA) requests because of space limitations, you may ask for your child to attend an eligible school if they meet one of the criteria listed on the OOA application. 

Note: If your reason for seeking an OOA placement is not listed on the application, then you cannot submit this online request. 

Out-of-area application

Please keep in mind the criteria for applying are extremely limited, and because of capacity concerns, all students are encouraged to attend their assigned schools.

School Board Policy

• Student–athletes who attend a school other than their resident-assigned school should contact the FCPS athletics director to review their eligibility status: (859) 422-4100.
• The student's parent/guardian is responsible for adequate and timely transportation to and from school.
• The student is expected to demonstrate acceptable behavior, make academic progress, and be in regular attendance.
