Welcome to Gainesville City School System

We are glad you are joining our growing family.
Gainesville City School System has a centralized registration process and does not register students at individual schools. Registration is available online.

Gainesville City Schools has established elementary and middle school zone clusters in order to improve our transportation services. This may result in you having to provide transportation outside of your assigned cluster. Gainesville City Schools will ONLY provide transportation services within your assigned cluster.

The Gainesville City School Board of Education reserves the right to establish enrollment limits in all grades, classes, and/or programs. Therefore, there must be space available within the established enrollment cap for each grade level in order for your selection to be honored. Enrollment priority will be provided to all City of Gainesville resident students before out of district requests are honored.

Admission and continued enrollment in the school of choice is based on the following:

1. History of good behavior
2. Good attendance (fewer than 6 unexcused absences and tardies per year)
3. Parent maintains a cooperative partnership with the school and district
4. Student can be accommodated by current instructional program services that will meet the educational, physical, and emotional needs of the student within the choice school’s capacity without placing undue financial burden on the school system.
