Enrollment Lottery is Held

If the number of applicants received during Open Enrollment exceeds the numbers of available seats for the 2026-2027 school year, enrollment offers are made via a random lottery system. Applicants that do not receive an offer will be placed on a numbered waitlist.

Current and Future Applications Remain Open

Families who secure enrollment prior to January 20th for the current 2025-2026 school year can secure their seat for the following school year and avoid a lottery. Schools will continue accepting applications for the next school year and will offer seats to students from the waitlist until all seats have been filled.
