Hamilton County Schools kicked off its Choose Hamilton school choice campaign for the 2022-23 school year on Monday and opened choice applications.
School choice options include magnet schools, which focus on a specific theme; open enrollment schools, which are K-12 schools that admit students from anywhere in the district; early college programs that offer post-secondary credit; and Future Ready Institutes, housed in high schools, with specialized industry training.
In the two months leading up to the application deadline on Jan. 31, here’s what to know about school choice options and changes to the process for the upcoming school year.
