2025-26 Registration Dates

The Spencer Center for Gifted and Exceptional Students is excited to announce that we have migrated to a new system for student registration. We are no longer an option within the Cincinnati Public Schools Lottery System.

Beginning in January, 2025 we will have in-person registration events for those families seeking a space at Spencer Center for the 2025.2026 school year. At these events (listed below), interested families will be able to submit our registration packet, and all necessary documents, have student test scores reviewed and meet with a member of the Customer Care team to assist with creating a Focus account or to address any questions you may have regarding Focus.

As a reminder, the Spencer Center for Gifted and Exceptional Students is now located at 3555 Kellogg Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45226. We moved to our current location, within the Riverview East Academy building, over the summer of 2024 and successfully opened to a wonderful new school year!

If you are interested in learning more about Spencer Center, please visit our school website for parent tour information and student shadowing opportunities: SpencerGifted@cps-k12.org

Also on our website, you will find information about the 5 Star rating that we have received from the State of Ohio and the testing eligibility requirements to attend Spencer Center. If you are interested in having your student's testing scores reviewed for eligibility, prior to our registration events, please contact the main office at 513.363.3400.

Thank you for your interest in Spencer Center!
