Families are encouraged to complete an application to participate in the School Choice Lottery on or before the deadline.
Charter school applications are accepted all year. Parents are encouraged to apply by the lottery deadline (April 1 each year) when schools have the most openings.
There are no tests or entrance fees for charter schools and names are drawn at random by a computer program. Charters accept students in special education programs, those who have IEPs and students who are English language learners.
All K-12 students are encouraged to apply to as many schools as they want. Applying to more than one school doesn’t help or hurt your chances of enrollment.
After the lottery has been drawn, students will either be given an enrollment offer or be added to school waitlists. Students may receive offers from more than one school. Parents should expect to hear from schools within one week after the deadline.
Applications received after April 1 are put on a waitlist, and schools will notify you as openings become available.
