Lorain City Schools Announce New Elementary Assignments and Transfer Deadline

The Lorain City School District has released its elementary school assignments for the 2026-2027 academic year. These changes affect approximately 1,100 students from preschool to fifth grade, stemming from a reduction in the number of neighborhood elementary schools from ten to eight. Families wishing to request an intra-district transfer must submit their applications by April 19, 2026, with decisions expected between May 1 and May 30. Specific assignments include Garfield for all preschool students and Frank Jacinto for those requiring intensive autism support.
