Application FAQ

Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment for the upcoming school year begins on the first day school and ends at 5:00 p.m. on November 29. If more applications are received than there are seats available, a random selection lottery will take place to determine which applicants are offered an available seat and determine the order of the waiting list. If fewer applications have been received than there are seats available, all students will be accepted.

Open Enrollment FAQ

Lottery

Lottery is a random selection process to fill available seats for all grade levels and is only held if the number of applications received during Open Enrollment is greater than the number of seats available in any grade level.
