PCPS is taking more applications for Controlled Open Enrollment (COE) for the upcoming 2026-27 school year.

The application window will reopen from Monday, June 8 through Friday, July 31. Applications must be submitted online through Parent Portal.

COE is a statewide program that allows you to apply to any public school (excluding magnet schools) that still has seats open for next year. The list of eligible PCPS schools is posted at polkschoolsfl.com/transfer.

PCPS will accept COE applications this summer until available seats are filled at eligible schools. Please note that if you are accepted to a school via COE, you are responsible for providing transportation.

For more information about COE, please visit polkschoolsfl.com/transfer or call our Pupil Accounting department at 863-519-7600 (option 1).

PCPS will also conduct another lottery drawing for magnet school applications on Monday, June 8. IMPORTANT: Please note this drawing is only for existing magnet school applications that have already been submitted for 2026-27, PCPS is not accepting new magnet school applications.
