For families who do not live within the PCSSD school zone but wish to attend one of the schools, the Arkansas School Choice Act is an option. The Arkansas School Choice program enables a student in kindergarten through grade 12 to attend a school in a nonresident district. No transportation is provided by the District for students who attend a PCSSD school via school choice. Learn more about school choice and fill out an application by visiting the PCSSD School Choice webpage. School choice applications are accepted January 1 - May 1, 2024. If you have any questions, please contact Chanda Swinson at cswinson@pcssd.org.
