Mills Park Elementary

Mills Park Elementary (WCPSS) does not run a separate admissions application; families enroll through Wake County Public School System by finding their base school assignment by address, starting enrollment online, and then finishing enrollment at the base school with required documents (certified birth certificate, proof of Wake County residence, parent/guardian photo ID, immunization record, and custody/academic records if applicable). (osageo.wcpss.net) Key dates for the 2026-27 cycle listed by WCPSS include: Oct 15, 2025 (kindergarten and pre-registration opens), Dec 15-17, 2025 (initial school assignment notifications), and Mar 2-13, 2026 (transfer application window). (wcpss.net) If a school is capped, WCPSS enrolls the student but assigns them to an overflow school and keeps a cap waitlist; families may be called back if seats open, and feeder-pattern cap waitlists can start as early as kindergarten (Mills Park Middle is listed as a feeder-pattern cap). (wcpss.net) For optional choice programs (magnet/year-round), WCPSS lists an Oct 15, 2025-Jan 22, 2026 application window with results on Feb 19, 2026, and students not initially placed may remain in an applicant pool (waitlist) for their first-choice school that is processed in the spring. (wcpss.net) Priority categories depend on the program: year-round priorities include (among others) sibling priority and calendar-matching, while magnet selection priority is driven by socioeconomic-status factors tied to the student's address and assigned base school.
