Magnet School Applications
The online application process for the Bibb County School District’s magnet schools and programs for the 2026-2027 school year will be open from November 4 through December 2, 2025, for Alexander II Math & Science Magnet School; Burdell-Hunt Communications Magnet School; Dr. John H. Heard Elementary School, Academic Magnet; Vineville Academy of the Arts; Miller Fine Arts Magnet Middle School; and Central Fine Arts & International Baccalaureate Magnet High School.
Elementary and middle school applicants will be placed in a lottery, with parents being notified of a student’s status in mid-January. From there, students of all grade levels will participate in the required interview, audition or essay, with parents receiving final acceptance notification by mid-February. Magnet applications are for students entering kindergarten and older grades, with Pre-K applications being handled through a separate process.
