As a result of the lottery assignment for 2,730 students subject to the Suncheon school district lottery, about 98.24% (2,682 students) were assigned to their first or second choice schools.


Priority assignment students such as physical education talent students, special education students, and students from multi-child families were assigned to their desired schools first, and in the case of the middle school zones, 75 students were assigned to their respective schools without a lottery.


In particular, with the transition to coeducation at Suncheon Isu Middle School, Suncheon Dongsan Middle School, and Suncheon Sebit Middle School, an appropriate number of classes has been maintained, and the percentage of students assigned to their first or second choice schools increased by 2.64% compared to last year.


Superintendent Lim Jong-yoon said, "We did our best to assign students to the middle schools they wished for, and we ask for the understanding and cooperation of the Suncheon educational community regarding the assignment results. We will strive to create a balanced development of middle schools in the district following the transition to coeducation and to establish a middle school educational environment where students can build a solid foundation and grow in their schools."


The middle school freshman assignment results can be checked on the 12th on the Suncheon Office of Education website and at the respective elementary schools.


For students who have moved to Suncheon City or changed their address by moving to the Suncheon middle school zone, reassignment application forms will be distributed and accepted from the 18th to the 24th, and the reassignment results will be announced on the 26th.
