School Selections & Pathways
It's a NEW ERA in Education at Cincinnati Public Schools.
- Students already registered as a CPS student will select their next school based on the corridor they reside in (East, Central or West).
- For the 2025-2026 school year, registered CPS students in Grade 8 will select a High School and students in Grade 5 will select a Junior High or Middle School.
- If you are new to CPS you will register to enroll and then select your school.
