How does the Lottery work?

Each year, up to 15 Lottery seats will be made available district-wide, depending on space availability. Students must register with the district and provide proof of residency in order to access the in-district lottery application.  Registration materials are typically available in mid-December of the year prior to entry.
 
If more students apply than there are seats available, a lottery will be conducted to select students; those not selected will be placed on a rank-ordered waitlist in case a selected student opts not to take the seat.  
 
If fewer students apply than there are seats, applicants will receive their seats, and the remaining seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis to late applicants up until September 30th of that year. After September 30th, those seats will no longer be available.  Students who have siblings already attending their choice school will receive preference in the lottery.
