• JFIB Admission Practices

    Any student within the Freeport School District is able to apply to be admitted to Jones-Farrar.  Kindergarten applications and Interest Forms are available on the JFIB website starting in January before the start of the new school year. Applications are a google form and can be filled out on any device connected to internet.

     

    How Seats Are Filled

    Seats are distributed across all Freeport School District through a lottery. The lottery is conducted in April for students who apply. Notification of lottery results is sent by US postal mail after the lottery has taken place.

     

    Sibling priority is granted to students residing in the same household as those already enrolled in the programme grades Kindergarten through 7th.

     

    As limited seats become available, they are filled by eligible students on the interest list. Interest form responses are also considered. Families interested in the IB programme at Jones-Farrar after open application dates are closed may fill out an interest form. Interest forms are time stamped, and an interest list is maintained in this order.

     

    Waitlist

    Any students who don’t receive a seat in the lottery are given a random place on the kindergarten or grade level wait list. Seats will be filled based on availability.

    To be included in the 2025-26 lottery, applications and interest forms are due March 28, 2025.
