Part of my problem is that I am not from this area, I grew up in Southwest Virginia. Therefore I only know the names of a couple of magnet schools, the really big ones. All of the articles that come up from google have information from 2000 about dates that you can go to sign up for schools but none of them give a list of names of magnet schools. Also none of my neighbors have children that go to magnet schools. Not one of them. One of my neighbors has a child that goes to private Catholic school, but we are not Catholic so we are not interested in going that route. I had a pretty detailed conversation with the administration at the preschool and they told me that 75-80 % of the children who complete preschool there go to public school, in the Lakota District. Don't get me wrong the Lakota Schools are terrific and there are so many good things about sending your child to school there, I just want to explore all of my options :) Oh, and the girls at the preschool had NO information about magnet schools. I am running into a brick wall here ;)~

I just "googled" "Cincinnati magnet schools" and came up with quite a few articles that you can look at...Also, you can probably google the individual magnet school names, and find out how they handle registration. You can talk to your daughter's preschool to see how their children typically transition into Kindergarten and beyond... Talk to your neighbors, and find out if any of them have kids in the magnet schools you're interested in.
