Admission to Brown School for Elementary is a Random Draw Lottery

1. The application period is November 6 - December 22, 2023. To apply, complete the JCPS online application available at https://www.jefferson.kyschools.us/how-apply and at registration sites throughout the district. Brown Elementary School is unable to review “second choice” applications. Please do NOT make Brown Elementary your second choice on the magnet school application.

*If you are new to the district, please visit www.jefferson.kyschools.us/schools/apply/new-students for information about registering your child for school in the district. The registration process must occur prior to completing the JCPS Magnet School online application. (This step is required for students in private/parochial schools, students moving to Jefferson County from other school districts, and students enrolling in Jefferson County for the first time.)

*For families considering early admission to kindergarten, please visit https://www.jefferson.kyschools.us/schools/apply/starting-kindergarten/early-admission for more information.  

2. We encourage prospective elementary families to attend Open House on Wednesday, October 25, 5:30-7:00 PM or one of our daytime Program Information Sessions. Dates/times are available below and at https://bit.ly/brownadmissions.

Once the school receives the random draw list from the district, the admissions committee will contact students for admission. Applicants will be notified by February.
