Lottery FAQ

Our lottery takes place on the first Monday in February for the upcoming school year. If there are more applicants than available seats, students will be placed on a waitlist. We maintain the waitlist to prioritize admission as spots open up. Additional lotteries will be held for students who apply after the initial lottery, as additional spots become available.

Please note that the waitlist does not carry over to the next year. If your student hasn't secured a spot, you will need to reapply in February of the following year.


Required Enrollment Documents

Following the lottery, if an invitation is extended you will be required to bring in a number of documents including your student’s original birth certificate, a copy of immunizations, proof of Washington County residency, and a copy of IEP/504 plan (if applicable).
