If there are more applications than there are spaces available in any grade level, the school will hold a lottery at the completion of the open enrollment period.

The school will contact every applicant on the prior year wait list to determine their interest in keeping their enrollment application active. Those who confirm their interest by completing a new application will be exempt from participating in the new lottery and will be placed on the waiting list in the order they had before if they did not draw a place in the school. Applicants who do not confirm their interest within the established deadline will be permanently removed from the wait list.

At a given date at the end of the enrollment period, a public random lottery will be held to draw names to fill available spaces in the school. Names on interested students will be drawn and given a place in the following school year.
