Families exploring Cincinnati Public Schools (CPS) middle schools can meet school leaders and compare programs at a district fair on Monday, Nov. 16.

The CPS Middle School Fair runs from 5 to 6:30 p.m. at the district's Education Center, 2651 Burnet Ave. Families can learn about the district's middle and junior high schools and explore the programs each school offers, according to a CPS announcement.

The event is aimed at families with students preparing to move from elementary school or those considering a switch.

The fair falls two weeks before the Nov. 30 deadline for the district's School Selection Process, which covers the 2027-28 school year. Families apply through Focus, the district's Student Information System (SIS). Applications are not processed on a first-come, first-served basis. They are eligible for students living within CPS boundaries. Families will receive notification in January 2027, though the district notes that date is subject to change.

Families with questions can call the CPS Customer Care Centralized Enrollment Center at 513-363-0123.
