Manatee County families can also apply through the district's Controlled Open Enrollment (School Choice) window for programs such as IB at Johnson K-8 and Southeast High and AICE at Palmetto High. Manatee School for the Arts in Palmetto is a public charter school for grades 6-12 with its own application. Sarasota County choice options include Pine View School in Osprey, the district's gifted magnet for grades 2-12 (eligibility testing required), and Booker Middle School's audition-based Visual and Performing Arts magnet. Which school a home is zoned for depends on the exact address, and boundaries change, so always confirm with the district before you buy.
